24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: the biggest thing was just you know, like losing power,

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: trees down, and I think the biggest thing that I

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: take from it was just really cool to see people

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 3: supporting and helping each other man, and there was some

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,360

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: might have an extra fridge with a generator that they

Speaker 2: getting ready for championship Sunday, Wimbledon, the men's final here Ryan,

51
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: We're not gonna spend a lot of time here, but

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: because you know me, I like the price in disease.

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: I like watching the marketplaces work. What do you think

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: get in for this event? Was Alcarez, the youngster, you know,

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: the up and comer, trying to plant his flag amongst

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: the greats and start that trajectory versus Yokovic, who's tried

57
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: to just do whatever he can to be a WWE

58
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: character this last week. A lot of complaining when they

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: were cheering for his opponent. Rude, Oh you're booing me,

60
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: I know what you're doing. Ha ha. What do you

61
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: think get in for this one?

62
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: Is just to get in the door, Not like the

63
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: good teachers just saying, get in the door.

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: Literally, I just need the final upper deck corner seat.

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: What are we thinking at Wimbledon? Anybody else want to guess?

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: Y Ryan gets first shot.

67
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: Since you're throwing out, I'll say a grand, get the

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: door for a grand, Chris, I need that. A dollar.

69
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: That's what it's worth, you buck, I like that, That's

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: what I'd be willing to pay. Okay, fair enough, eight hundred.

71
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: How about ten thousand, six hundred dollars, fellas what I'm good?

72
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: Ten thousand, six hundred dollars. So the next time you

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: can play about Super Bowl tickets for your team that

74
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: ain't been there for three decades. That's what you got

75
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: here at Wimbledon for this men's final. Right age and

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: history and championships and all of the legacy and Alcarez

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: on the come. So there you go. That we get

78
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: started with that. Later on we'll get into some of

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: the soccer prices because Fox a big day both for

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: the Euro twenty twenty four final and Copa America finals,

81
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: so that'll be fun. I'll be planted firmly on my

82
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: couch in between naps to watch those a little bit

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: later on. But you are in Vegas, home of the

84
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: Summer League and all of the fun and popping circumstance

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: and pageantry in between drinking gallons of water to try

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: to survive the oppressive one hundred and ten degree heat.

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: I hold up there, big man, What does it take

88
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: to keep a Ryan Hollins hydrated?

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: Oh that's a lot of water. I mean I can.

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 3: I can throw down, Mike. I don't know if you

91
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: remember in studio, I had like a somebody bet me

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: I couldn't drink like a five gallon or something. I

93
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: got about seventy five percent there can I can put

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: them down with the best of them when it comes

95
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 3: to drinking. Now. I laid an egg in my first

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: food eating competition, my hot dog competition. But as far

97
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: as the water, I didn't quite get the bet, but

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: I got the respect. I'll just say. I've been sitting

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: since Sunday without power. Came out to Vegas about Wednesday.

100
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: So just the fact that there's there's there's glimpses of

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: air conditioning.

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 2: No, it's good. Yeah, No, all of those little creature

103
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: comforts that you take for granted, right, all of a

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: sudden it goes away for a day or two because

105
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: let's face it, summer's in Houston are not exactly the

106
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: Mother Nature's not kind to you, storm excluded, just in

107
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: terms of humidity and heat and all that fun stuff.

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: So you're already out of deficit there. So then you

109
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: go to the desert a Vegas, which I was there

110
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: briefly a little over a week ago. Yeah, that wasn't fun.

111
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: It was I was hiding under the misters and uh cover,

112
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: you know, being as pasty as I am, the sun

113
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: was not gonna be kind to me.

114
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: I will say, I had like a like a peasd

115
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: So even just going to like a ballet or hopping

116
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: in an uber, I'm just like.

117
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: Let's go, yeah, the hustle thing. Let's just get moving. Yeah, yeah,

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 2: we just don't need to be standing still. Well, I

119
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: bring up summer league and we'll get to the obligatory

120
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: Brownie James discussion as we go. But you know, the

121
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: other side of the coin, at least to start this

122
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: summer league is what's going on with your squad? And

123
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: we've been talking about it for a while. I talked

124
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: about it over the course of the season, just saying, well,

125
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: the Western Conferences is getting deeper and more competitive, and

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: a team that you need to watch potentially here to

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: rise up fairly quickly is your Houston Rockets. And now

128
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: you look at Cam Whitmore, you look at Reed Shepherd,

129
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, I think eyebrows have been raised.

130
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 2: Now it's summer League, so we take it all with

131
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: a little bit of a grain assault, but we take

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: what we can from it. When you see good habits

133
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: and what players are doing, you know, effort defensively, effort

134
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: and spacing and all of that. And I gotta say,

135
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: color me impressed at least with what we've seen here

136
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: in the early going.

137
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 3: Well, I think I was at the game yesterday. Those

138
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: two exceeded expectations. And the reason I say so is

139
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: just sometimes some of league can get a little wacky.

140
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: You know, guys haven't played in a while, they may

141
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: not be fresh. And I'll start with Reading Shepherd. I

142
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: felt like Read Shepherd. There are a lot of questions

143
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: about his size, but I qise toughness, kind of poised,

144
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: He knew where to be on the floor, He knocked

145
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 3: down tough shots, got guys the basketball. There's not one

146
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: moment he pressed and a lot of times for young players,

147
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: the biggest thing, Mike, you know what we talked about.

148
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: It's just pace, you know, swing down, act like you've

149
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: been there before. And I think that Reid really exceeded expectations.

150
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: And I'm looking at it at at a stacked Houston

151
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: Houston roster as far as depth wise, and I'm going, man,

152
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: that's a good problem to have. You know. You can

153
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: look over at like like a OKC or Boston, Boston,

154
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: you know, and you're seeing the way that teams are

155
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: winning in the NBA. It's like they've got depth going

156
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: ten to eleven deep. And you know, Boston ended up

157
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: doing that for a lion's share of the playoffs. So

158
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: the fact that Reed Shepherd can play, he's something unique

159
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: that the Rockets don't necessarily have. So I'm excited to

160
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: see what he does when he gets his shot on

161
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: the floor. But you know, he's a baller man. But

162
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: just to answer your question, I was more impressed with

163
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: the poison as far as Cam Whitmore comes out and

164
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: scores twenty points. You can go in the NBA. He

165
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: gets minutes, he's gonna score twenty points. He was. I mean,

166
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: his per minutes per minute execution was unbelievable. He's a

167
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: bucket And I like that Cam just stayed confident, man attacking,

168
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: He didn't care who was on the floor. He's the

169
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: same Cam Whitmore that we were able to see. But

170
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 3: you know, when you value and you evaluate guys, you say,

171
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: can you go and have that same level of production

172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: wherever you are? And Cam Whitmore had that in the game.

173
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: So I was really excited to see the way those

174
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: guys went out and competed and the level that they

175
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: played at in that ball game against the excuse me,

176
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: the Laker Summer League. Yeah.

177
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: What's interesting is you know, talking about the scope and

178
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: scale right, big college programs for a lot of these guys,

179
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: these two in particular, when you look at it Ryan,

180
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: you know, so the pomp and circumstance from a young

181
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: age and pageantry. But I go back to what Anthony

182
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: Edwards was saying the other day, you know, coming off

183
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: of his his first run with the Olympic squad, was

184
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: that he still had the nerves right, and you hear

185
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: performers say, hey, I got the butterflies every once in

186
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: a while. But he went on in a little bit

187
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: of an expository, you know, kind of check of it all,

188
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: saying no, it's a bigger stage, like there's there's a

189
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: lot at stake here, a lot of expectations versus. And

190
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: this is the guy that's just played, you know, in

191
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 2: the Western Conference finals, right, this is the guy that

192
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: people started comparing to Michael Jordan. Yet he's still coming

193
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: out of this saying well, I'm kind of nervous. I mean,

194
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: part of it, I think probably owes to the fact

195
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: that he's playing alongside Lebron and Steph and yeah, you know,

196
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: you're trying, you know, to not well. And while you

197
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: may ruffle some feathers by saying hey, I'm the number

198
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: one option, you're still recognizing what you're around. But you know,

199
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of, as you alluded to. For

200
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: Summer League, one of the biggest things to see. You know,

201
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: how quickly can you get to the heart rate of

202
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: a guy playing at a high stakes poker table to

203
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: where you're just flat and ready to play.

204
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I got a chance to see that

205
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 3: Team USA game two. I was impressed more so with

206
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: the buying of the guys. It looked all business. And

207
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: sometimes when you're looking at culture, you're looking at the sidelines.

208
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: Those guys like each other. They're bought in, a lot

209
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: of high fives, a lot of excitement. You know something,

210
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: little man. You know, Lebron gets subbed out, he sprints

211
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: off the floor. Dude. You know he set the stage

212
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: of professionalism in that game. And you think about when

213
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: Kobe Bryant approached Team USA, it was like business, you know,

214
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: it wasn't you know, a day off for Hall Man.

215
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: I got to do this for the summertime. They looked really,

216
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: really good. And I don't know if we're gonna jump

217
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: out and compare it to the Dream Team and Team

218
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: things like that, but I guess you can say, hey,

219
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: you got you know, and older Kevin Durant and older

220
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: Lebron James. You got this Anthony Edwards coming around. You know,

221
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: he's a young talent. You got a Holliburton. You got

222
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: these young guys mixing in and Jason Tatums and it's

223
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: it's the Devin Bookers. It's a fun mix that we're watching.

224
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: So I think it's gonna be a really exciting Olympics.

225
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: But I just like the the little things being done right,

226
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: and Team USA is doing that so far. Man, And

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: you know, Canada was no slouch, and I thought they

228
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: handled that game pretty well, and especially for a first game.

229
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 3: You're normally looking ugly in the first game. But it

230
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 3: wasn't It wasn't bad basketball at all.

231
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, most of that first quarter was fairly painful to watch.

232
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: Man.

233
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: I was on aras that that tipped off, as like,

234
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: all right, we're moving in slow motion, so we can

235
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: talk more about Joel Embiid and adapting to officiating and

236
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: what's going on there. But you know, you mentioned Kevin Durant.

237
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: He's likely going to miss at least the Australia game

238
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: and this part of the war tune ups with the

239
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 2: calf injury, and you know, whenever, you know, we get

240
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: Durant or any of those players, we start getting recurrences

241
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: of the leg injuries. You know, I start doing a

242
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: little bit of handwringing and get a little bit fearful

243
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: of what that indicates. Right, we saw Kawhi Leonard have

244
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: to dip out and all the hysteria that that caused

245
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: along the way. You know, one of those players that

246
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: as he was named to the team, I think everybody

247
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: raised their hands like is he tried to do this?

248
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: Like the NFL Pro Bowl, So he gets credit for

249
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: being part team part of Team USA because he was

250
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: there for picture day and then he bowed out, So

251
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 2: he'll be on all the trading cards and everything before

252
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: you go.

253
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 3: We well, I'm sure you know, at the end of

254
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: the day, you gotta like a big picture. I think

255
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: Kawhi had all intentions on playing. I think his mind

256
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: was there probably maybe the last shot he'd have at

257
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: going to the Olympics. Obviously talent wise, you know, that

258
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: would be putting the best talent on the floor. And

259
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: you know, his body just maybe wasn't there at that time.

260
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 3: And I and I think all of us raise an

261
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: eyebrow to say, hey, you know, you weren't able to

262
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: participate in play in the playoffs for your ball club,

263
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: but you're gonna try this. But you know, it's a

264
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: legacy at hand. And I think he gracefully just said, hey,

265
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: I don't think I got it, you know, give this

266
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 3: seat to somebody else. But I tried, and he he,

267
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: you know, he gave effort there. But obviously, because Kawhi

268
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: is so quiet, there's no statements, there's no anything. We're

269
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: left to guess, you know. But I think I am

270
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: pretty confident and sure he had the right intentions in

271
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: hand and he wants to be a part of something special.

272
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: No question about it. I mentioned Durant before. He also

273
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: let the cat out of the bag on something pretty

274
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: big coming off a picture day. We'll do that a

275
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: little bit next hour. Something I touched down in the

276
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: in the course of the week with an all star

277

Speaker 2: Mike Carmen alongside Ryan Hollins having a blast with you

310
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: this morning. Big Championship Day Soccer Euro twenty twenty four,

311
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: Copa America twenty twenty four. Here I mean getting after it,

312
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: a lot of finger pointing and anger in very specific spots.

313
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: You had the Euroguayan coach going after it. Now you

314
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: got the Columbia coach. He's mad for other reasons and

315
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: one of it is because of a famous recording artist

316
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: who'll be there a little bit later on today. We'll

317
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: get into that as the show goes on, and then

318
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: we've got the men's final at Wimbledon. As we discovered

319
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: in our opening to the show, you wanted to get

320
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: in it was ten six hundred dollars, also known as

321
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: the price of a decent used car. There you go, Rights,

322
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: there's your Sunday morning snow. We'll get into the price

323
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: in disease of hot dogs across Major League Baseball because

324
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: that's an important survey. We've got to watch your wallet

325
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: as we go through for ballpark Franks, but we also

326
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: do the wallet watching for all players and sports and

327
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: terrible news for some. For me, I shrug and go, well,

328
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: he just seems to be that guy, Jalen Brunson. He

329
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: signs this new deal and immediately everybody says, well, he

330
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: protected James Dolan, he looked out for James Dolan. How

331
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: about he looked out for himself and the continuity of

332
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: his squad and the fact that if he does what

333
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: he needs to And this is part of a promo

334
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: of me barking about it the other day, but you

335
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: are my NBA guy. So we revisit here. He's gonna

336
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: be eligible for three hundred and twenty three million dollars

337
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: in just a couple of years. If he waited until

338
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: next year, would have been to sixty nine. Leaves one

339
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: thirteen out there for now, but gives them the flexibility

340
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 2: because the dopey apron thing that they agreed to is

341
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: really restrictive on both sides to folks.

342
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, hear this perspective of Brunson. Okay, Brunson was

343
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 3: the second round pick. He was slided from Dallas. You know,

344
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: they didn't in and off from what he was worth.

345
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 3: The Knicks from day one believed in him. Not only

346
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: did they believe in him, they hired his father.

347
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, there's a lot of family ties there.

348
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: Right, right, they hire his father on the staff. On

349
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 3: top of hiring his father on the staff, they go

350
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 3: out proactively and make moves for his boys, Like they

351
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 3: bring his boys in, Okay, Like they go get his

352
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: college championship teammates. And it's not just a match made

353
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: in heaven. When we're you know, speaking of bringing in

354
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 3: you know, superstars to the NBA, and you know, normally

355
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 3: the Lakers and Knicks and Celtics. They want the biggest

356
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: and best names, and they're like, nah, let's go get

357
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: your boys. Let's go get Josh Hart, Let's go get

358
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: Michel Bridges, Like, let's go and put your team, Devincenzo,

359
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 3: put your team back together. So I think Brunson's looking

360
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: at this and saying, man, it ain't even about basketball

361
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: at this point. And if I win in New York,

362
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be untouchable. I'm gonna be untouchable. So and

363
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 3: I'm making a lot of money off the court. So

364
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm grateful, and I'm gonna show you

365
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 3: how grateful you are because as a ballplayer, those people

366
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: that believe in you, in anything, and Mike, you know

367
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: this early in your career, that first person that believes

368
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 3: in you, you feel a sense of entitlement there all right,

369
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: shoot over here, Fox, Scott Shapiro, Scott is one of

370
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: the first. Scott and Don and those guys Ryan Howins.

371
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 3: We believe in you. We like you. No, no, no,

372
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: you got something. We roll with you. What you need

373
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 3: from me, even about even about not S's not about

374
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 3: the money. Don't get me wrong. Cards We're not doing that.

375
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: But Mike, Mike, am I wrong? Like from that angle,

376
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 3: like somebody that believes in you that from someone who

377
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: takes that angle, that's a discount your pops is on staff.

378
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: Some people fray away from that. You know, well when

379
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 3: you're when they hire your pops. I guess I don't

380
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: know this angle. Mike would throw this to you too?

381
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: Is it like reverse nepotism? Like the son does the

382
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: dad right?

383
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: And you know, you know one of my unhinged rants

384
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: was against everybody that really got bent out of shape.

385
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: And we talked about it last week about the you know,

386
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 2: Brownie James to the Lakers thing. It's like how gen

387
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: Bus decided to do business. You're not the owner of

388
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 2: the Lakers. You can't have it where you appreciate loyalty, uh,

389
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: and how the the mom and pop organization runs. But

390
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: then they make this move and all of a sudden,

391
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 2: everything's wrong with the world for a guy they pick

392
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 2: at fifty fifth right, And you know what I challenged

393
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 2: everybody in our business to Ryan at that point is

394
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 2: no longer will you try to help people get internships.

395
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: No longer will you try to help someone get a

396
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: writing job, a producing job, a behind the scenes job,

397
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: not just you know, your friends and family, because that's

398
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: what people try to keep trying to, you know, trying

399
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 2: to limit it to family. No, it's anybody that you're

400
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: helping from a position of influence with your own success.

401
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: So you can't do that anymore. If that's your take

402
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 2: on Bronnie James and lebron James in that whole process. Likewise, here,

403
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of funny if you can get

404
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: Dad on staff, get him a job, right, we talk

405
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 2: about the front office and all the family connections and histories,

406
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: and then just go back down to you know, a

407
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 2: guy like Thibodeau, he's a different kind of coach that

408
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: you got to play for, right, So you got to

409
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: figure out but I mean you got to figure out

410
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 2: players who are going to handle how he operates and

411
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 2: gives you the best opportunity to coalesce and come together.

412
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: Jalen Bruns have got more Maya Kulpa's I think this

413
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: year than any player I can remember in recent history.

414
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: Can you remember how many people bagged on the contract that

415
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: the Knicks gave him, which really wasn't that substantive in

416
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: the grand scheme When you started looking at where it

417
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: ranked amongst other you know, guards and contract length and

418
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: all of that stuff at the time, but all of

419
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: a sudden it became a wow, I grossly underestimated this

420
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: guy and heart and whatever it's like, which had been

421
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: on display. Now it just translated in a whole other level.

422
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: Even his old college coach was like, yeah, I didn't

423
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: think it would necessarily be this. And then you're on

424
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: the biggest stage. As you say, if he wins, he's

425
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: a legend. They have once at seventy three. Seventy three

426
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: the last time they were really relevant until this postseason,

427
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: and they started getting chipped off, kind of like a

428
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: Monty Python skit. You know, it's only a flesh round,

429
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: all right, next guy, I'll fight you. Come back here.

430
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: You chick in all of those things. I mean, we're

431
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: we're talking about the OJ Chase. I mean, that's that's

432
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 2: what we're talking about here. We're talking about ninety four,

433
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 2: the last time that as a team, other than you know,

434
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: just kind of being bloviators, that the Knicks were relevant

435
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: on a basketball surface. So, I mean, just a huge deal.

436
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: But you know, it did shine some more light on

437
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: this Players Association agreement and I'm a guy I get

438
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: into the weeds on this stuff. Ryan, I'm a bit

439
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: of a nerd, both for the nfl U and here

440
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: and what you agree to. And with Brunson's contract, it

441
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: was a lot of the handwringing of what he's doing

442
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: for James Dolan. You know, he looked at it from

443
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: a Brady Jeter go on down the line of guys

444
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: where maybe I'm feeling good about what I need to

445
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: but here's how I'm gonna win. And for the players,

446
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: you could say, well, you know, this is a screw

447
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 2: job because you know he sets president whatever, Like how

448
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: many players are gonna really leave one hundred and thirteen

449
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: million dollars there? I mean, legitimately, you're right, you're around

450
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 2: the league, you played in it for a decade. How

451
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 2: many guys are gonna take the chance about that extra year.

452
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 2: I gotta say, it's probably.

453
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 3: Not that large and age, it's rare, so it must

454
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 3: be done. Like we talked about, it's got to be

455
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: the loyalty aspect, because all I can think is, you know,

456
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: that's how san Antonio was able to kind of just

457
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: retool and keep their guys and and and buy in

458
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 3: and able to to win for so long, and obviously

459
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: the Knicks haven't had a championship. They're not San Antonio.

460
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: That's all that I can think of in that standpoint. Hey,

461
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 3: you know, people give Gilbert a lot of flak for

462
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: his controversy, but I remember, I think Gilbert did that

463
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 3: to make sure that Antoine Jamison could get signed and say, hey,

464
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna leave some m's on the table

465
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: so you can kind of keep this thing going. We

466
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: got something good, something good here. So it has happened before.

467
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, Brunson's really young to be doing that, but

468
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: you can if you think about all the things we

469
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: listed and name before. I think he's saying, I want

470
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: to win. I want to win. I want to win

471
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: with my guys. This is this is all I asked for.

472
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: And you know what, every time I've come to the office,

473
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: you know, it's something or we've kind of negotiated something.

474
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: You guys have came to the table, come to the

475
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 3: table for me. So hey, here it goes in return.

476
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: Seems like a pretty good partnership as it stands. We've

477
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 2: seen other moves this off season that had to be

478
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: made because of the fear of that second apron highly restrictive.

479
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: I actually had it printed out the other day for

480
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: the show. Ryan. It was like seven pages long, because

481
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: you need to do a bunch of explanations of what

482
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: happens with draft picks and draft picks freezing, what your

483
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: penalties are if you're above the first apron with regard

484
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: to trades. Hey, I can't give you two twelve point

485
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: five million dollar guys for your twenty five million dollar guy,

486
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: like all of these different permutations. Hey, if you do

487
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: this and you're in this spot more than two years

488
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: or two years in a five year period, so you

489
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: go into year three, all right, your draft pick goes

490
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: to the back end of the first round automatically, no

491
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: matter how well you play. So there's all these different

492
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: parts to it. And for ownership, you know, there's their

493
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: side of it and putting in essentially a hard cap here, Ryan,

494
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 2: And for the player's side, Hey, you have to make

495
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 2: that decision trying to look into the crystal ball of

496
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: winning versus can I get the bag and go somewhere.

497
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 2: I want to now and force the issues, so you know,

498
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: we'll see if this sets a precedent where guys go

499
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: down this path. I know a lot was made of

500
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: Lebron James signing for a little less than the maximum,

501
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: because you know it kept them forty five thousand dollars

502
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 2: below that second Apron Ryan.

503
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's see. But again, Lebron, you can almost

504
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: look at that money off set and say, well, you

505
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: just signed my son and so about what you signed

506
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: them for whatever, we'll do that.

507
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: Well, which is why people are saying, damn it, they

508
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: circumvented the salary cap room by giving him that guaranteed money.

509
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: It's still all in the family.

510
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: Keep it in the family.

511
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 2: Sing the theme song.

512
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: Go ahead, come on, Mike, am I wrong? Do someone

513
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 3: do something for your girls? What do they need? What

514
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: they need? You're helping them out. But that's it.

515
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: It goes back to the same thing of all right,

516
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: what are your considerations now for Lebron? The larger story

517
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 2: is you know, the reports real or imagined, And I

518
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 2: don't know you can tell me whether you got a

519
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: better finger on the pulse of this of how much

520
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: less he was willing to play for to try to

521
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: attract another player, and nobody can versus Yeah, he was

522
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: gonna get his bag regardless, I.

523
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: Think for the right player, Lebron would have done it.

524
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I think whether it's smoke, there's fire. I

525
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: don't think he said it for no reason. I think

526
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 3: for the right situation. If it really came down to, hey, Lebron,

527
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 3: I want to come, but there's not enough money there, like,

528
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: I think he would have waited to make it happen.

529
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: But I don't think those things or those talks went

530
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: went there. You know, they got there. I don't think

531
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 3: it got far enough. But Lebron understands like I need help,

532
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: you know, I need I need that third guy. Whatever

533
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: it may look like, I need help. We got we

534
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 3: gotta figure something out. And I just don't think it

535
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: worked out. And then in everything we're hearing and seeing

536
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 3: from like Clay Thomas, it seemed like Clay was kind

537
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: of set on Dallas because if work with Mike, I

538
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: know Mike well, and Clay would grew up a Lakers fan.

539
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 3: If he had a chance of being a Laker, that

540
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: would have been done sealed. So I think that there

541
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 3: was probably no question unless if it was just a

542
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 3: big a matter of money, that he was probably going

543
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 3: to Dallas to kind of, you know, continue to build

544
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: his own legacy and do his things at Golden State. Okay,

545
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 3: back then you didn't want me. You know, I'm hot.

546
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: They all owt me. You know, he wants to do Dallas,

547
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: and you know, I feel like if he was going

548
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: to be a Laker, this would have been the time

549
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: for Clay to be a Laker.

550
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah, some reports that Clay turned down two years

551
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: forty to stay in Golden with the with the worst

552
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: saying in Golden State just means in California, staying up

553
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: in the Bay Area with the Warriors. That he turned

554
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: that down felt disrespected, which is always tough, right. You know, again,

555
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: outside looking in, I can't look at a man's wallet

556
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: or you know, really understand fully his motivations because there's

557
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: going to be what he's talking about with his dad,

558
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: what he's talking about with his guys now ex teammates

559
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: all of that versus what we get publicly, and you

560
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, have to try to color in the DNA

561
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: like we're in the Jurassic Park labs to try to

562
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: figure it out that you know, did how much In

563
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: the discussions from the Warriors side is look how much

564
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: you got when you didn't you couldn't play, and we

565
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 2: were loyalty then and we took care of you coming

566
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: off a big injury, et cetera. And now we're in

567
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: this next phase of trying to navigate the last throws

568
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: of Steph Draymond and what it is. And you know,

569
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: Steph coming out and saying, hey, I want to be

570
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: a warrior for life, but you never know, it is

571
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: a business. I thought was a nice little, you know,

572
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: the slight of hand to throw into the discussions as well,

573
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: maybe perhaps indicating he's a little less than pleased with

574
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: the fact that Clay is going to be a this year.

575
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's here. Here's the thing too. In basketball,

576
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 3: like you with US or against US, I guess it

577
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: gets black and white, like especially when you're playing you

578
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: with US or against US, and as an athlete, you're

579
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 3: always looking for something to motivate you. You're looking for

580
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: something to drive you. And unfortunately, you know, when it

581
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: gets intertwined with business, sometimes clear heads, well a lot

582
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: of times clear heads don't necessarily prevail. And Clay felt

583
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: slighted and Golden State maybe felt like, hey, Clay, this

584
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: is your value that we see and he's like, dude,

585
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: you just paid Draymond. You know, Draymond's not a splash brother.

586
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: You know, you got to give me what he got,

587
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: you know, and they're probably.

588
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: A year, four years, Yeah, it was his latest deal, and.

589
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: They're probably like, no, we were not bought into that.

590
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 3: We're not comfortable with that, Clay, but we want to

591
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 3: work with you. We want you here. And like again,

592
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: cooler heads do not prevail for the most part when

593
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 3: you're the professional athletes are the most competitive people on

594
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: the planet. Okay, when I when I played, when I

595
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: was in it, it took me a while to get

596
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: past that mic. So I would see another player, a

597
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: contract or anything, and you just it's a driving force

598
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 3: of motivation. Every time you see somebody, you're sizing them up. Dude,

599
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: whether you're playing or not playing, you're seeing something and

600
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: you're getting your juices going, man, and it does not

601
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: turn off. It took a while. It took a while

602
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: for it to turn off too. And for me on

603
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: on in the media side, you have to turn it

604
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: off because I cannot give a fair take, a fair

605
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: assessment of something going on if I'm still in player mode.

606
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: I don't think you can, you know, just step back

607
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: into the game with a proper perspective. If you're always

608
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: seeing things through your own lens. So that was something

609
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: important for me. And it's funny, like, even you know,

610
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm not doing Big three this year so far, but

611
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: when I kind of like got back and like played

612
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: Big three and did something competitive, it took two or

613
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,800

616
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,400

617
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 2: USA's first exhibition, it's like I wanted someone to have

618
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,720

619
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,600

Speaker 2: sluggish six minutes. I'm like, we're gonna play some basketball here, right,

624
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,000

625
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 3: a lot of those.

626
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he and Lebron were getting after it, and then

Speaker 3: Yeah.

663
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,760

Speaker 2: Matt Isaac lowan Crown where you find I'm at the

00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,200

Speaker 2: NBA today, part of that Team Canada effort against Team USA.

668
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,160

669
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: talk about it next round. Fox Great Eggs. Welcome back

670
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: in Fox Sports or radio the Fox Sports Sunday. Almost

671
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 2: got myself back into Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon

672
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 2: Mode There, Ryan Hollins, No, it's Fox Sports Sunday. It's

673
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: a beautiful morning. We're up in that. I'm hopefully you

674
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: are too. Thanks for giving us a piece of your

675
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 2: your mind, your time, and maybe you're wagging your finger

676
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: at the radio for something we said. You can also

677
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: do it on Twitter at Swollendome at the Ryan Hollins.

678
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 2: We already did get a call saying you guys are

679
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 2: gonna do some Clark and Reese. I'm like, oh yeah,

680
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 2: we'll get that later. We got some NFL. You're in Vegas.

681
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams seemingly has talked to everybody but me at

682
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: this point, Ryan Hollins. And because you're on the ground

683
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 2: in Vegas, you know, we got to ask you know

684
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: a lot of questions, super sleuthing of what you're finding

685
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 2: out around the summer league activity when you're not trying

686
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: to find respite from the heat, you know, walking through

687
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 2: casinos or hiding in your room. But we've talked about

688
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks and the chippiness he and Lebron James, so

689
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 2: we got a little taste of that back and forth.

690
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: He always strikes me as one of those guys that

691
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: and look, VEX teammates can tell the tale better than anybody,

692
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 2: some of the administrators and the people around, But always

693
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: strikes me as one of those guys that I don't

694
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: like him until he's on my squad. Right, aj Perzinski

695
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: is now one of my favorite White Sox players of

696
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 2: all time. When he was at Minnesota twin yeah, not

697
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: so much when Dennis Rodman was doing everything he could

698
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: to strangle Michael Jordan, not my favorite guy. Guess what,

699
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: he shows up in Chicago. He's hanging out, he's doing

700
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: book signings and running the town, and he's part of

701
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: the nWo. All of these things. I'm feeling pretty good

702
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 2: about it. Right, all of those kinds of iterations with

703
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks, I'm wondering if he isn't, you know, maybe

704
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 2: just a little bit less, but that same type of character.

705
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 2: But certainly Vex Lebron James right there. B from the

706
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: NBA certainly spilled over into international waters.

707
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, man, they went at it, and I got

708
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 3: to take my hat off to Dylan in terms of

709
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 3: Team USA the game against Canada, because I'm gonna tell

710
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 3: you one thing. You know, you kind of talk about

711
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 3: how ugly the game was as it started, and you

712
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 3: saw Team USA kind of get get rolling and their

713
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 3: depth really kicked in their second unit. That was a

714
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 3: game of death by far easily.

715
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: Sure defensively, played really well down the stretch. Seemed like

716
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: they the communication got better, possession after possession.

717
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 3: That game had the juice that it had because of Dylan.

718
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 3: There is no way at that time of year, early

719
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 3: on in an exhibition that Curry and Lebron and those

720
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 3: guys wanted to be playing that hard. You know that

721
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 3: early that was all Dylan Brooks and Canada. They just

722
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 3: didn't have a second unit to match up. And I mean,

723
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 3: my goodness, like USA second unit Anthony Edwards, Jason Datum, Halliburton,

724
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: Bam Autebio, and Anthony Davis, Oh my goodness. I mean, look,

725
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: if you're the Lost side, I don't want to get

726
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: off here. But if you're the Los Angeles Lakers and

727
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: you're looking at Anthony Davis the way him and Bam

728
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: out to buy it work together, you got to get

729
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: something comparable. Now, now, BAM's very much. I'm pretty sure

730
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 3: off the table to come and play with a d

731
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 3: But you got if you get something comparable there, Wow

732
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 3: that is that's that was fun to watch. But back

733
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: to Dylan Brooks man, I get the pleasure of working

734
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 3: with him all year and call calling the games and

735
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 3: watching him work. He just he just he changes the temple.

736
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 3: He changes everything. And you know, in my opinion, he

737
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 3: was the best player on the floor for Team Canada.

738
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 3: But he just brought the juice to the game and

739
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: you know, his edge, it just changes things and you

740
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: know you're not gonna go out and you know, if

741
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 3: you do have a chance to beat Team USA, let's

742
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 3: say that we're for some weird reason, we see that

743
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: matchup again, Uh, it's not gonna be by pretty and

744
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 3: oh we like USA. You guys are so good. It's like, no,

745
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 3: we got to go pound for pound. We gotta get muddy,

746
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 3: we got to get ugly. And I thought, just Dylan

747
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: did a just a spectacular And no, he's not everybody's

748
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 3: cup of tea. If you if you're not wearing a

749
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: Rockets or team candidates.

750
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: No, that's it. The headlines are you know, in our business,

751
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 2: you know, hey, let's let's try to get you to

752
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: click click click click click. But you know, sorry, pest

753
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: act and whatever else. Like you figure out an angle

754
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 2: that's gonna maybe give you an advantage and take someone on,

755
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: you know, put them on tilt. Right, Lebron James compartmentalizes

756
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 2: pretty well. And again to your point, this was a

757
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 2: war of attrition, right, This was a battle.

758
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: Right.

759
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: We see him Bead Fallout playing only twelve minutes and

760
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: over time you just had too much depth, even with

761
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: Canada loaded with NBA players. It's just we're talking about

762
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: different levels. We're working like Kramer on Seinfeld, I'm working

763
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: on levels Jerry, same kind of deal. So they're able

764
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: to pull away and you know, they they covered the

765
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: number for those of the you with betting interests and

766
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 2: all of that fun stuff. But for Dylan Brooks, you know, curious,

767
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: they're they're in Houston working with the younger guys like that.

768
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: That's where you know his true test comes. You know,

769
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: as we get ready for this next season talking again

770
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 2: about Whitmore and Shepherd and these guys coming along.

771
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, and I'll even say, you know, when he

772
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: first got to Houston, a lot of people are like

773
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty on Dylan Brooks. They weren't quite sure,

774
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: and as the season went on, it was like consensus,

775
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: we love Dylan Brooks, like we are all in. But

776
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 3: you know, he's the driving force, you know, top of

777
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: coach Im Doka. Just that it's really changed the culture

778
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 3: in Houston and like you know, like the Rockets are

779
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: going pound for pound with the league's best. He's the

780
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 3: one starting things up and spurning it and putting confidence

781
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 3: in those young guys. Man, his impact is never going

782
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 3: to be seen just on the ball floor.

783
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: He's Ryan Hollins on Mike Carmon. It's Fox Sports Sunday. Here,

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now the curious case of the

786
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: week concerning Jalen Brown. He looked nice and comfortable on

787
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: the SP's red carpet, and he had to answer the

788
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: inevitable question. We'll get into it next year on Fox.

Speaker 2: live from Las Vegas covering Summer League action. Ready for

799
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 2: more his Houston Rockets, a couple of young stars getting

800
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: some headlines along the way, particularly when you vanquish and

801
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 2: dispatch the Los Angeles Lakers and unceremoniously as they did

802
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: the other night.

803
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 3: Ryan, Hey, it's good basketball man, good times. All is

804
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 3: well in the world, right.

805
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: Well, that's it, you know, in the end, we try

806
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: to find our refuge from some of the other headlines

807
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: and sports. You know, we try to keep it rained

808
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: in obviously, you know, everything we take it from the

809
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: larger world and a lot of concerns and discussions coming

810
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 2: along with safety the presidential campaign politics. Steve Kerr issued

811
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: his statement part of Team USA. Remember his father had

812
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 2: been assassinated years ago, so he spoke up about gun

813
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 2: violence today and then that's part of the larger landscape

814
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: and backdrop of what we've got going on today. But yes,

815
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: a lot of big games, final day of Major League

816
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 2: Baseball before the All Star break as well, Ryan, So

817
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: we got that going as we get ready on a

818
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 2: big Sunday. And one of the stories of the week,

819
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: and again being that you're so tapped in you're there

820
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 2: on site for Summer League and watching the Team USA work,

821
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: was the fact that Jalen Brown was not named as

822
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 2: the alternate when Kawhi Leonard withdrew that it became his

823
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: teammate Derek White. And then we start trying to parse

824
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 2: out reality versus, you know, maybe some of the tinfoil

825
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 2: hat conspiracies in our head. What's real, what's imagined? Jalen

826
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: Brown was asked about it on the as part of

827
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: the Spies of coverage earlier this week.

828
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: How does it feel to have support from so many

829
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: NBA fans?

830
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 2: I think that you should be on teenius.

831
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 3: It feels great to have support and one day I'll

832
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: share my steart. People don't have the all the information

833
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 3: in the world that they would like to know. It

834
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: just feels great to be here at the SP's and

835
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: to be holding up to Larry.

836
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 2: O'Brien, there you go, get back in. I'm still champ.

837
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 2: You can't take that away. Kind of like Jason Tatum

838
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: did every turn he could get just saying, Hey, I'm elite.

839
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 2: Now I've got a ring, leave me alone. So for

840
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, it becomes the curiosity of cycling through what parts,

841
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: if you were to create a giant pie ryan, of

842
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: what parts of the decision making whatever grand Hill said

843
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: in that very extended halftime interview in their exhibition opener

844
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: all the way through, because Jalen Brown immediately started going, Hey, Nike,

845
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 2: I get what this is about.

846
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 3: Right.

847
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: He wears Nike shoes, covers up logos during the year,

848
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: all of those things, once upon a time had another

849
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 2: shoe agreement, doesn't have one now. So it's those kind

850
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: of discussion points that we're getting into. So it's the

851
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 2: trying to realize fit team structure all of those things

852
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 2: against business interests and to try to categorically dismiss the

853
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: business interest I think is foolhardy and disingenuous, but to

854
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 2: also make that be all to end all for everybody disingenuous.

855
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 2: So when he says I got a story, I don't

856
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,799
Speaker 2: know how much else is there. I don't know how

857
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: many more layers there are to it, but somewhere in

858
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 2: between is where the truth lies.

859
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, listen again, we don't ultimately know. But if

860
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 3: I'm stepping back and you know my opinions there, they

861
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: may say, hey, Jalen Brown, we know Derek White, if

862
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: he plays or doesn't play, he'll be ready. Excuse me.

863
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: I know he's had Team USA, Derek White, and I'm

864
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 3: pretty sure experience all you know before, and so is

865
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,959
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown. But you know, Derek White, they not see

866
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: a minute or maybe scarce and that maybe they were

867
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 3: nervous that Jay would Jalen Brown be willing to step

868
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 3: into that role. Maybe it could have been basketball wise.

869
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if there are things off the court.

870
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 3: I know Team USA probably maybe wants to stay out

871
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 3: of controversy. You know, it could be that, you know,

872
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 3: it could be a number of angles, and then you know,

873
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 3: sometimes you got to be patient because you got to

874
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 3: keep in mind there are other guys who left off.

875
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 3: And I'm sure when Kevin Durant's done doing Team USA,

876
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 3: and you know Lebron as old as he is, Hey,

877
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: jb maybe right, right, there next up, they're gonna be

878
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 3: calling them, They're gonna be there's gonna be no option

879
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 3: but to have them on the team. So I think,

880
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 3: I just I hate when all these things end up

881
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 3: going public, you know, and it's nothing different than what

882
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 3: athletes say behind the scenes or you know, Mike, we

883
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 3: talked about this segment before of just finding, you know,

884
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 3: something to motivate you, something to keep that chip on

885
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 3: your shoulder. So I you don't like what it goes public,

886
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 3: but I am interested to see. But you know, when

887
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: you're putting a team together, and Team USA has done

888
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 3: a good job so far, it is tough. And then

889
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 3: for Jalen Brown especially, You're going I was Finals MVP.

890
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: You took three of my three out of the four

891
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: of us, and I'm the one missing. What's going on?

892
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: This has to feel personal? This has to feel like

893
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 3: a slight There's something going on here. You know, there's

894
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: four of us and somehow I'm the missing one. So

895
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: one steps away and can't make it and I'm still

896
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 3: not placed in Again, I was a Finals MVP. What

897
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 3: more do I need to do? So?

898
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: Who our Team USA kept him off? Ryan? That's it?

899
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 2: Which guy doesn't like Jalen Brown, is it Jason Tatum

900
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: himself because he was really uncomfortable and he was asked

901
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 2: about it the other day. Obviously, I'm going for the

902
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: hard hitting. Let me see if I can go a

903
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: few good men and get you to do a Jack

904
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: Nicholson response to me there. But the reality is, you know, somewhere,

905
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: you know, little bits of truth are parsed out and

906
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 2: it's always going to be public, right. I mean, look,

907
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: people are still griping about the omission of Caitlin Clark

908
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 2: from the US women's national team. We'll get to see

909
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: it in the All Star Game that they'll play, right,

910
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: the WNBA All Stars against Team USA. But it's that

911
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: type of thing of all right, well, here's earned for

912
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: Caitlin clarko as well. She hasn't been around, she didn't

913
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 2: get to practice, whatever. There's a lot of basketball reasons.

914
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 2: And again, having your training camp while the NCUBLEA season

915
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 2: is still going on doesn't really give any of those

916
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 2: young women or the men for that matter, while they're

917
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: doing it a chance. But for the NBA, it's just

918
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 2: kind of understood, there's a head nod. These guys will

919
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: eventually come to work. Whereas Team USA. On the other side,

920
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 2: for the women, they were working while the NC DOUBLEA

921
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: Tournament was still going on, so couldn't participate, couldn't get

922
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 2: those reps, continuity, all of that stuff. So trying to

923
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 2: figure out, now, how you push forward for that, you know,

924
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 2: and with Jalen Brown, it becomes the all right, what

925
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 2: business enterprise team or coach on Team USA didn't like it?

926
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 2: Or you know, looking over at Derek White, who might

927
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 2: you know, behind the scenes be his best friend, you

928
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,399
Speaker 2: know in the Jason Smith Mike Harmon lexicon of Our

929
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: Evening Show. But for the purpose of this, he's looking

930
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: around going I've got all the accolades, but Derek White, defender, shooter,

931
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 2: all of those things team fit and to your point

932
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: of being off the bench, you just have to be ready.

933
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 2: Not that he's a bench guy, but he's been there,

934
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: He's played that role. That's not something Jalen Brown has done.

935
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 2: And you know, you think about egos, pecking order, whatever,

936
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 2: and trying to parse through that and wondering how much

937
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: of a concern there was there. But it's it makes

938
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 2: for a good subplot. And look for Team USA basketball,

939
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 2: normally they're overrun by swimming and gymnastics, so at least

940
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: for a little bit they're getting their run.

941
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and and again too, you know, the

942
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 3: one thing with team he would say, just I just

943
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 3: really like, you know, from being at the game, the

944
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 3: continuity that we were able to see, I think the

945
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 3: good energy is there and it's tough. Man. Again, as

946
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 3: a competitor, Jalen Brown should have every right to want

947
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 3: to be there. Again, he was finals in MB to

948
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 3: feel like he was slighted, and you know, you know

949
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 3: one is one his opportunity there. Man, there's there's always

950
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 3: going to be someone that feels that way. And the

951
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 3: answer what you said earlier, everything I'm here man, that

952
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 3: him and Jason Taylor there are like buddies. There's there's

953
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 3: no controverts.

954
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 2: So everybody tried to them up all last year.

955
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no, I've just I would just say from

956
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 3: everything even I've heard even more so in depth here

957
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,959
Speaker 3: at Summer League, it's just that those guys are tight.

958
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: There's no there's no like dissension is like nothing not

959
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: even close but between them, so uh, it's it's definitely

960
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 3: not that. But you know, hey, you can understand the

961
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 3: fit because again, Derek White may not see a minute,

962
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,479
Speaker 3: he may not play, you know, and and and he's

963
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 3: a guy that has proved that I'll be fourth fifth option,

964
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 3: and like really really like it's been a long time

965
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: since I've probably seen a guy play Derek White's role

966
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 3: in the fourth or fifth option and be as good

967
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 3: and as precise and tight as he was for the

968
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 3: Celtics this season. I don't know how many guys I

969
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 3: can name that can play that role, not third option,

970
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 3: like like fourth fifth option. And he hooped.

971
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 2: He's Ryan Hollins up Mike Carbon here at Fox Sports Radio,

00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,120

00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: very Las Vegas streets from one wide receiver. But a

00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 2: alongside my guy Ryan Hollins, having a blast. You're watching

991
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: this Wimbledon's Men's Championship. Alcarez up four two second set,

992
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: took the first set down six to two. We got

993
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 2: soccer later on today. So many sporting outlets for you

994
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 2: to well take whatever list you have and put it

995
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 2: off to the side, or just decide you're gonna hide

996
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,439
Speaker 2: from the temperatures outside. I actually saw thunder. I heard

997
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 2: thunder saw lightning. How dumb am I? I heard thunder

998
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: saw lightning as I was coming into the Southern California offices.

999
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,439
Speaker 2: I was told in song Ryan Hollins, it never rains

1000
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 2: in Southern California, but it looks like it might be

1001
00:50:58,600 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 2: a brewin this morning.

1002
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 3: Oh my God, stop it, dude.

1003
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, you know, the weather app says mostly sunny,

1004
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 2: mostly sonny now, so it's all right. So it was

1005
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 2: an instant thing at like four point thirty this morning,

1006
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 2: So I'm glad to hear that.

1007
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 4: To be fair, we are in a studio with absolutely

1008
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 4: no clear cut windows.

1009
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 2: No, that's fair too. I mean we we can completely

1010
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 2: lie about what's what's outside. I used to like watching

1011
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 2: the people walk past the uh, the studio windows, Ryan Hollins. Uh,

1012
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 2: when it was, you know, a last call at the bar,

1013
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 2: when I would be here in the middle of the night.

1014
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 2: Was always a fun little adventure in sidelight.

1015
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 3: Don't you want to be with the windows anymore?

1016
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 2: Well, they moved to our studio where we don't have windows.

1017
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 3: We moved to the.

1018
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 2: I don't have that much clout, buddy. Once it got

1019
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 2: rolling that way, I mean, it wasn't me anymore. And

1020
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 2: it's a nicer studio. It's a much n much nicer studio,

1021
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 2: all right, that's to be determined. I don't have windows.

1022
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 2: I feel locked in. But to that point, yes, I mean,

1023
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 2: I've got a bunch of monitors in front of me.

1024
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 2: I've got some shiny lights I just need a little

1025
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: bit of makeup to touch up my shiny forehead and

1026
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 2: perhaps will be a little bit better. But one of

1027
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 2: the things that I guess has to be glossed over

1028
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 2: and maybe put some lipstick out a pig is the

1029
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: situation going on there with the Las Vegas Raiders and

1030
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 2: one Devantae Adams, who really went all out to promote

1031
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 2: his appearance on the show Receiver that's showing up on Netflix.

1032
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: We've got another story out of that series coming up

1033
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 2: a little bit, and Chris Purfet's the perfect guy to

1034
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: have on our ones and twos for that today, because

1035
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 2: you know we're talking Detroit and i'man Ross Saint Brown.

1036
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 2: A couple of stories from him. One injury one, Hey,

1037
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: how do you get yourself motivated? And how do you

1038
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 2: rally through a long grind of an NFL game? We'll

1039
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,720
Speaker 2: tell you how his dad tells him to get himself ready.

1040
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 2: But for Devanta Adams, you know there's clips of him

1041
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 2: wearing out Jimmy Garoppolo on the sideline. If he's going

1042
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 2: to keep throwing the ball like this, I'm gonna get killed.

1043
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 2: Or if he keeps throwing like this, I gotta get

1044
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 2: up out of here if he's still the guy on

1045
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 2: the field. Talking about this year's quarterbacks, Aidan O'Connell and

1046
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: Garner Minshew stating a slight preference for O'Connell at this point.

1047
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 2: But let's hear from Devanta Adams himself.

1048
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 7: Life, I've never been hit this many times in my career.

1049
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: Every game I get.

1050
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, so for devout da Adams, Like, there's the audio,

1051
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 2: you know, bleeped out. You can fill in the blanks

1052
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 2: and we can play that like a like a t

1053
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 2: hang Man or whatever if we need to. But it's

1054
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: just the idea of dissatisfaction with scheme quarterback operational efficiency.

1055
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 2: And look, he was spoiled, right Aaron Rodgers for all

1056
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 2: of his shortcomings and playoffs, some of the stuff he

1057
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 2: says off the field, and whatever you feel about all

1058
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 2: of that, is one of the most efficient quarterbacks we've

1059
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 2: seen over the last twenty years. So you leave that situation,

1060
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 2: you go to Derek Carr, guy you are really comfortable with.

1061
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 2: That's your college guy. You get a year with him,

1062
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: and then he's gone, and now you're looking around wondering

1063
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: what's next. You know, Owing to some of the conversations

1064
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 2: we were having with Jalen Brun said about you know, continuity, loyalty,

1065
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 2: team building, et cetera. A man feeling like he's on

1066
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 2: the island. And eventually, I think he's going to finally

1067
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 2: in between all of these cries for help, he's just

1068
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 2: going to raise the hand and say I need out.

1069
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And for these stars to get moved, you know,

1070
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 3: they got to show out. You gotta be demonstrative. I'm not,

1071
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 3: you know, a big fan of it. I wish things

1072
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 3: would happen, you know, behind the scenes said that earlier,

1073
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 3: but I'm not a huge fan of it. But it's

1074
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 3: tough because this is the only way he's he's probably

1075
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 3: going to get out of this situations to the point

1076
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 3: where they say he can't come back. We don't want

1077
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 3: him to come back, you know. And he was the big,

1078
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 3: big move and the Raiders went all in. But from

1079
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 3: receiver standpoint, yeah, you cannot throw the back the football

1080
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 3: to yourself. And these public rants are just saying, look like,

1081
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 3: I want to get back with Aaron Rodgers. They're not

1082
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 3: being shy about it. And he's really looking to force

1083
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 3: the hands of the other Raiders right now. And we've

1084
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 3: seen this trend in sports. You know the NBA hate thing.

1085
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler, you know, did it? James Harden did it? Uh?

1086
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 3: You know Jalen Ramsey in the NFL kind of figured out. Okay,

1087
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 3: I just got to be demonstrative and I'll get out.

1088
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 3: I'll you know, hey, I'll have that lower back injury

1089
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 3: and the reason I'll give you the tip, the reason

1090
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 3: guys don't show up on an X ray. Don't show up, baby,

1091
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 3: don't show up. Okay, around, you're not telling I've been

1092
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 3: around this business.

1093
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 2: I know how this works.

1094
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 3: Defonte may have a lower back injury coming in the camp.

1095
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 3: You know, we'll see.

1096
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 2: You're the type of guy that says, my lower back

1097
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 2: is killing me.

1098
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 3: Drift. I'm serious. I'm sitting here working. I'm not a

1099
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 3: lower back injury guy. I give I was going to

1100
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 3: pull that card. I wouldn't beat here.

1101
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh, I was just reciting some old ll Cool j lyrics.

1102
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 2: Oh I like that because the ladies do love cool

1103
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: James little.

1104
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: Humble brag right there. I'm proud of my hard work.

1105
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 3: I'm glad I'm here here for this. Hey, you're all

1106
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 3: Sunday guy.

1107
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 2: Mean, ten years in the league, playing in the Big

1108
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: Three and still getting after. I see the weight you're

1109
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 2: putting up, you know, more humble brags up on your

1110
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: on your Instagram and everything else. Don't don't kid yourself.

1111
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 2: We watch now. I'm pretty impressed, man, I do want

1112
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 2: to I appreciate that.

1113
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,320
Speaker 3: But I appreciate that. Let me ask you this, Mike, Yeah,

1114
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 3: if DeVante Adams gets moved they reunite with the Jets,

1115
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 3: can we no longer make excuses for Aaron Rodgers? Are

1116
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 3: we now? You know? Starting up? Because everybody when he

1117
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 3: moved there to the Jets, Oh, the defense is so great.

1118
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 3: Now they got Aaron Rodgers. These are the super Bowl champs.

1119
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 3: Look out great, the Jets are going to be Like

1120
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams gets moved, Jets got pieces and the Raiders

1121
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 3: do this. How much pressure gets put on Aaron Rodgers.

1122
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 2: Well that's the thing, right, It should have been there

1123
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 2: for a very long time, right. That Super Bowl win

1124
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 2: is miles in the past. Try everybody with the Sean

1125
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 2: Payton super genius. I get it. He was part of

1126
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 2: our team for a bit. Well he's not anymore. He's

1127
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: back in the coaching sphere, and we could be real

1128
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: about it. It was him. Drew Brees a system that worked,

1129
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 2: and you roll through that super Bowl long time ago.

1130
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 2: Let's see what you got now in Denver for Aaron Rodgers,

1131
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 2: a lot of great regular season success. And I was

1132
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 2: on this bend, like you can go find audio clips

1133
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 2: in our podcast for years on this. And it wasn't

1134
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 2: just bitter Bears guy because he owned us during the season. No,

1135
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 2: in the end, he got his won super Bowl. The

1136
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 2: Bears laid down at the end of a season, they

1137
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 2: got into the playoffs, got hot, and that was the

1138
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 2: end of it. They end up beating Pittsburgh in the

1139
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 2: super Bowl in a way it goes. But you know,

1140
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 2: I harbor no bitterness there of the regular season ownership

1141
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 2: or whatever. It's just brass tacks. Let's get down to

1142
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 2: business in the playoffs. I still don't think he got

1143
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 2: enough to for the loss to Brady in the Bucks

1144
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: when he came off the field without questioning it, without

1145
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 2: being demonstrative, without saying blank you we're staying on the field,

1146
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 2: leave that field goal kicker on the side, and you

1147
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 2: left the door open for Tom Brady to come back

1148
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: and beat you when you had the opportunity to put

1149
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 2: the dagger in him. So you know some of that.

1150
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 2: I think he's gotten a free pass, and I don't

1151
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 2: think it was until he really became that much more

1152
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 2: outspoken about the vaccine and presidential elections and politics in general.

1153
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden it became a little more

1154
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 2: fair game, it seemed in our larger media sphere to

1155
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 2: go at Rogers, And eventually it trickled down to his

1156
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 2: football and the arguments that I've been making for years

1157
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 2: on that regard. But I don't think it was until well,

1158
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 2: he's just become a guy that outside of Green Bay,

1159
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 2: being frustrated with threats of retirement and everything that. You know,

1160
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 2: he got a pretty free pass because he was so

1161
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: winning MVP awards in the regular season. Yeah, so I

1162
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 2: think this is the year. If they were able to

1163
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 2: pull that off, I mean, good for them. I'm always

1164
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 2: in favor. If a player wants out, let's not dance

1165
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 2: around it. Let's not have the anonymous sources telling me

1166
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: that he's upset and malcontented. Nah, the hell with it,

1167
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 2: do it like James Harden did.

1168
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 3: I'm done, And you know what, I obviously completely different situations. No,

1169
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams definitely an NBA center and a receiver complete

1170
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 3: way different. But for myself, similarly, there was a big

1171
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 3: difference playing with the point guard who could not distribute

1172
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 3: and pass and kind of look for you to get

1173
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 3: you the ball and versus the ones who could. So

1174
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 3: later in my career, at a certain point, I saw

1175
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 3: the difference in my play and the way I was

1176
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 3: viewed by who was getting me the basketball. So you know,

1177
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 3: for myself, I was demanding, like, hey man, I want

1178
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 3: to play with with great point guards, and I was blessed.

1179
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 3: I want to play at Rajon Rondo and and Chris

1180
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 3: Paul and Mike Conley and those guys, because I knew

1181
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 3: if I was open, the ball would be coming my

1182
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 3: way and I was gonna be in better positions that

1183
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 3: would make me look good. So I get it from

1184
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 3: Devonte especially in the NFL. Man, if you get the

1185
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 3: one complaint you hear from him is like, I never

1186
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 3: been hit like this. I'm vulnerable. You know that if

1187
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 3: that quarterback can't get you the ball in time or

1188
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 3: he leads you into a hit, man, it's it's it's ugly, dude,

1189
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 3: and that's their safety on the line. So saying I

1190
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 3: agree with what's going on or the way it said

1191
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 3: but oh yeah, he's he's got a case. That's that's

1192
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 3: a thing. So I think he's I think if if

1193
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,439
Speaker 3: he's not moved from the Raiders, and remember I said,

1194
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 3: this man, he's going to escalate and make this even

1195
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 3: worse man. Until they give him that handshake dealer, they

1196
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 3: agree that, you know he'll be moved. I think he

1197
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 3: gets even even louder. And you got to assume that

1198
01:00:57,680 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 3: probably since he became a Raider through there, that you

1199
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 3: know those talks were there. Yeah again, like you said,

1200
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 3: you trade away car and the moves aren't made to

1201
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 3: support him, to make him feel more comfortable. So he's

1202
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 3: over it.

1203
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 2: And you've got a couple of big players. I mean

1204
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 2: you look at that defensive line and the type of

1205
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 2: player you got in Crosby as your base, and you

1206
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 2: know to see that I hate to say the wasted time,

1207
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 2: but the potential is there that Yeah, it comes through

1208
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 2: where he's not playing a lot of meaningful football laid

1209
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 2: into the season, and I know they had spells where

1210
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 2: they played pretty well, but the consistency certainly isn't there

1211
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 2: to try to try to push forward. I mean, look

1212
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 2: at the one of the NBA moves that comes through

1213
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 2: what san Antonio did bringing in Chris Paul to come

1214
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 2: work with Victor winbin Yama. Yes, how much better are

1215
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 2: you gonna be when you got a guy that you

1216
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: know can come in and give you the lobs and

1217
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 2: get you the spacing that you need. Right, all about

1218
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 2: the anticipatory thing. Paul may be slowing down, but the

1219
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 2: brain's still there and they to make a pass is

1220
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 2: still there even if some of the other stuff starts

1221
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 2: to dissipate a bit.

1222
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of Max Crobsey, I could saw Max Crosby

1223
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 3: in summer league yesterday.

1224
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 2: There you go, see he's a hooper out and about

1225
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 2: did you go in, Uh, say you want to play

1226
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 2: me one on one? Did you go leave our ball

1227
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 2: on him?

1228
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 3: You know what? Basketball players don't like to play football

1229
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 3: players in basketball.

1230
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 2: I gotta imagine I understand why.

1231
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 3: It's not a it's not like a fun deal. Like

1232
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 3: it's not you know.

1233
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, those low post battles probably not so much fun.

1234
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 2: Uh And pretty soon you're talking about maybe a little

1235
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 2: soreness in the lower back. How about that?

1236
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,520

1237
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 3: bad interview. You know, you want to interview certain people.

1238
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 3: I don't know it'll pass.

1239
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes you can see it coming. Sometimes you know, you

1240
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 2: have to pull the ripcord after three or four questions.

1241
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, your safety might be at hand, you know, but

01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 2: let the cat out of the bag, out about something

1269
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 2: really big. But first let's go to Isaac Lowancron. Let's

1270
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 2: get an update on Wimbledon final and so much more.

1271
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:09,240

1272
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,760

1276
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,919
Speaker 8: crumpulls the rocket of Novak Djokovic. This is a quite

1277
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 8: extraordinary performance so far. He's two thirds of the way

1278
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 8: al Karaz to retaining his title. He's well on track.

1279
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 3: He has played superbly.

1280
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 8: He leads Novak Djokovic two sets to love, six to two,

1281
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 8: six to two.

1282

Speaker 6: Right now, Djokovic leads the third set over al Karaz,

1283
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,640

Speaker 6: fourteen Cardinals over the Cubs five to four to sweep

1288
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 6: a doubleheader and a big day and a big night

1289
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 6: in soccer tonight in Miami at eight pm Eastern it's

1290
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 6: the final of Copa America between Argentina and Columbia.

1291
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 3: Up first.

1294
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 6: Video has just emerged of England fans outside the stadium

1295
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 6: attempting to drive a tiny car with two enormous kegs

1296
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 6: of beer on the roof, only going to have both

1297
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 6: kegs of beer fall off the roof and into the streets.

1298
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 6: Hopefully their play will be a little more graceful later today.

1299
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 2: Back to you, Jess. Because the containers dented doesn't mean

1300
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 2: it's not still good. See there's my analogy for the

1301
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 2: human condition. Our exteriors may be a little bit dented,

1302
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 2: but we're still good. He's Isaac Lohancron at Isaac Lowancrod

1303
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: where you find them on Twitter. Now we've got a

1304
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 2: guy that I once thought was really tall, who the

1305
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: cat out of the bag that you know, maybe he's

1306
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 2: not always cracked up to be. And I've got to

1307
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 2: go take a long walk on the beach to figure out,

1308
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 2: you know, what's reality because it's all been twisted after

1309
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 2: this comment. Is there some huge controversy about you being

1310
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 2: a lot taller than six ' ten with this Team

1311
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 2: USA photo shoot that happened?

1312
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 5: Have you seen this?

1313
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 4: No?

1314
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 9: No, lot of I guess those guys might be shorter

1315
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 9: than what they're what their numbers say. I'm six nine, though,

1316
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 9: so it looks like Bam out of Bio is probably

1317
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 9: six ' eight, yeah, instead of six ' ten, and

1318
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 9: ad is probably six ' nine. You know, so they

1319
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 9: probably adding a little more in their height. Well, I'm

1320
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 9: keeping minds at the same you know, I'm not lying

1321
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 9: about my height.

1322
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 2: You look just as tall as Embiid and he's listed

1323
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 2: at seven feet. So you're saying those guys are all lying?

1324
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 3: Uh really?

1325
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1326
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not seven feet.

1327
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah up at Adams Show, Kay Adams. Uh, there's the question.

1328
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: I was always told Kevin Durant was pushing seven feet

1329
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 2: here Ryan Hollins. Now I have to wonder, are you

1330
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 2: really measuring up at seven feet? Because I mean it's

1331
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 2: gonna change our entire relationship. Have you been lying to

1332
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 2: me like everybody has about Durant for so long?

1333
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 3: All right? You ready for the context on this Kevin

1334
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 3: Durant contacts.

1335
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 2: Man, We're getting deep.

1336
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant may not be seven feet He might be

1337
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 3: closer to seven to one. When I stand next to KD.

1338
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 3: We're I If not, he may be even taller. Why

1339
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 3: does he do this? Why would he do this? What

1340
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 3: in our generation coming up, what do they do to

1341
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 3: guys that are seven feet tall going to the post?

1342
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 3: Going to the post? Go shoot a jump hook, don't

1343
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 3: step out and shoot a jumper. But as long as

1344
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 3: he was six ' nine, he got to play on

1345
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 3: the wing handle to basketball. And he's arguably the most

1346
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 3: talented scorer. He's arguably the most talented score that it's

1347
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 3: ever played the game of basketball. Now, there was somebody

1348
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 3: else who did it who was clearly seven foot one,

1349
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 3: and there's no contest there. And his name is Kevin Garnett.

1350
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 3: Have a garden that And I spoke with KG about this.

1351
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 3: Hey man, hold on cave. You're way tall, not just taller,

1352
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 3: way taller than I am young, and I do not

1353
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 3: want to get put in the posts. They're not gonna

1354
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 3: let me play the three or the four. If I

1355
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 3: am seven feet tall, then do what I think KG

1356
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 3: didn't want to do it deservedly so is play the five.

1357
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 3: There was no reason for him to be in that position.

1358
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,000
Speaker 3: So some of these guys are these freaks of nature.

1359
01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 3: What do they do? They are going to twist their height.

1360
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,719
Speaker 3: You know, it is the reverse. You know a lot

1361
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 3: of time my five foot eleven Brotherren I'm not calling

1362
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 3: anybody out, my five foot eleven brother, and they end

1363
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 3: up being six feet tall and six ' one on

1364
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 3: their driver's license. I'm not calling out, no names. You

1365
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 3: know who you are. But this is the reverse where

1366
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 3: these guys don't want to get put in the posts

1367
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 3: because their skill and their footwork and they want to

1368
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 3: be at the wing. They want to be at the elbows.

1369
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 3: They don't want to be down there playing the five.

1370
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,799
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to do that dirty work. So that's why

1371
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant is saying, I'm six foot nine and I'm

1372
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 3: not all as seven feet seven to one and I'm

1373
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 3: telling you I played against Katie standing next to each other.

1374
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 3: You know what. You know what, Mike, I might send

1375
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 3: you a video of me walking with Kevin Durant and

1376
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 3: you'll see clearly Kevin Durant is your height, if not taller.

1377
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just have to put it this way, buddy,

1378
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 2: is the I'm five foot nothing. I'm a fire plug

1379
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 2: of a man, you know, at by five seven. So

1380
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 2: anybody that gets past, you know, six feet is a giant.

1381
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 2: So differentiating between six nine and seven feet for me

1382
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 2: and gonna be it. And I get your point when

1383
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 2: you get to Kevin Garnett, you get to Kevin Durant.

1384
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 2: Guys from a different era, right our era. Yeah, when

1385
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 2: we're talking about a further rear view mirror in terms

1386
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 2: of their careers to where yeah, seven feet that would

1387
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 2: have been the expectation. It's not really what we expect anymore.

1388
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 2: We hope they can do it. We anticipate that if

1389
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 2: we need you to do what we can. I mean,

1390
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 2: I guess it begets the question like what's ad because

1391
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to play the five either.

1392
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 3: Eighty six nine, sixteen, Okay.

1393
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 2: So like just going down that highway right, because for

1394
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 2: all these years, the measurements on NBA players when you're

1395
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 2: tall have been like WWF superstars. That guy six ' nine,

1396
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 2: he's really not. He's like six three. But compared to

1397
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 2: that other guy he's wrestling, who's lightning fast and jumping

1398
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 2: around the turnbuckles, who's all of five foot nothing, he

1399
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 2: looks like a monster. And that's kind of you know,

1400
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 2: for NBA purposes, everybody's tall. Now we're just kind of

1401
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 2: separating it out. But him saying he was only six nine,

1402
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,799
Speaker 2: I'm like, like, part of the legend of Kevin Durant

1403
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 2: was that he was the six eleven seven foot guy.

1404
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 2: And if he's trying to, you know, dismiss that at

1405
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 2: the back end of his career, I don't think it

1406
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 2: helps him.

1407
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just well, no, he's he's certified. I mean,

1408
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 3: he could tell people he's six foot five with his

1409
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 3: bag and the things that he's been heaving.

1410
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 2: No, no, no, But I'm just saying, like, for me, from perspective,

1411
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:03,719
Speaker 2: he was that much of a like and it takes

1412
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 2: nothing away from the accomplishment it's actually on the field.

1413
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 2: It's my just perception of this was supposed to be

1414
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: a guy that was six eleven, seven foot doing it.

1415
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 2: And if he's going to try to say he's sixty nine,

1416
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 2: how's that help him. We got a lot of six

1417
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 2: nine guys that can do on some level what he's

1418
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 2: been able to do. But at seven foot he was

1419
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 2: just that much different as the slim Reaper. And he's

1420
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 2: kind of diminishing that to me by telling me he's shorter.

1421
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 2: Is he's not that old to be shrinked yet?

1422
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 3: Ryan Hollins, Why do you think when Golden State claimed

1423
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 3: to be putting out a small ball lineup, it wasn't

1424
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:36,840
Speaker 3: really a small ball lineup. The Hampton's five, we're tearing

1425
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 3: down a lot, right, I'm tearing it all down, tearing

1426
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 3: it down to and you had seven feet and six '

1427
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 3: eight on the floor. That's a regular NBA roster, right,

1428
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 3: and then six seven sixty seven liv In Seniggo Dollar, Curry, Clay,

1429
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 3: whoever was out there. Yeah, yeah, sorry, the Hampton's five

1430
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,680
Speaker 3: was a normal roster. It wasn't really small ball. It

1431
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 3: was just really good players out there. I just to.

1432
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:06,919
Speaker 2: Disappointed. I'm selling all my Kevin Durant trading card interests

1433
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 2: just like that. He's Ryan Hollins I'm my car, but

1434
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 2: it's Fox Sports Sunday here. Fox Sports Radio podcast will

1435
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,760
Speaker 2: go up and I'll have that our executive producer after

1436
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 2: we finish a little over an hour from now. We help.

1437
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 2: We hope you download it, rate it, review it. Tell

1438
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 2: me how insane I sound off of some of these rants.

1439
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, good, bad, indifferent. We just need your

1440
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,759
Speaker 2: feedback to keep the line moving, aggressive expansion, to steal

1441
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 2: from the dark night as we continue across the globe.

1442
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we go back into Price in Disease.

1443
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 2: We talked about this Wimbledon final, and right now, if

1444
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 2: I paid ten two hundred dollars to get in there,

1445
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 2: I either have to be really happy that Alcarez is

1446
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 2: dominating or I'm salty that Yokovic spent his week complaining

1447
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 2: instead of getting ready for this match. We'll do that,

1448
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 2: but we've got a hot dog in disease and pricing

1449
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 2: for two other big events, including a coach mad about

1450
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 2: the circumstances of his match. We'll tell you all about

1451
01:12:59,920 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 2: it next on Fox Oh, come on in Fox Sports

1452
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 2: Sunday continues Mike Harmon alongside Ryan Hollins. We're having a

1453
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 2: blast live fromthetirac dot com studios. And as we continue here,

1454
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 2: coming up in about ten minutes, we'll get into the

1455
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 2: double double controversy. It's to no, not how many in

1456
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 2: and out burgers Harmon's gonna consume later on this afternoon

1457
01:13:22,600 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 2: while watching soccer all over the place. No, there's I

1458
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,679
Speaker 2: gotta get the big man's opinion on these kind of things,

1459
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 2: because well he's kind of a smart guy and he

1460
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 2: knows the motivations of folks along the way. So we'll

1461
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 2: get into that. But found this thing about the price

1462
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:45,560
Speaker 2: indices as related to hot dogs at Major League ballparks

1463
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 2: and talking about the disparity and the depending where you are,

1464
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 2: how much we're we're looking at the difference. Right when

1465
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 2: you're in Canada, you can get something and like I

1466
01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:01,560
Speaker 2: guess we got to do the conversion rates and everything

1467
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 2: of that nature. But you have about a three dollars

1468
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 2: hot dog. But then you start getting into the other

1469
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 2: places around for say you're in Chicago, say you go

1470
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 2: to New York. Now you're getting that sticker shock as

1471
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 2: you go through that, you know, and if you're a

1472
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Costco member, you know the old dollar fifty you know

1473
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 2: deal that still remains despite the price inflation on pretty

1474
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 2: much everything else. Ryan Hollins, i'mout a big hot dog guy.

1475
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 2: I had a bad experience when I was a kid

1476
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 2: to where my my lips blew up.

1477
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 3: Wow.

1478
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 2: I used to uh a lot of fillers, I guess,

1479
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 2: and those dogs they were trying to feed a lot

1480
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 2: of people at a family barbecue and it went to

1481
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 2: hell pretty quickly there. So so you got that going

1482
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,679
Speaker 2: for you. So you know, doing the conversion, you actually

1483
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 2: get Toronto. Uh comes in at about five fifty to

1484
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 2: six dollars US. But the most expensive is actually the

1485
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 2: Oakland A's. We get nobody in the ballpark, nobody wants

1486
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 2: to see our product. Yet the average price of a

1487
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 2: hot dog going into Oakland is eight dollars at thirty

1488
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 2: nine cents. Ooh, how about that? This is a survey

1489
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 2: I've done and reiterated for this. Yeah, exactly. For the Angels,

1490
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 2: it was eight bucks. At the cheaper end of things,

1491
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 2: you got the Diamondbacks, Marlins, Twins, and Braves all in

1492
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 2: that four dollars territory with the Royals and the Mariners.

1493
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 2: And I just thought it was an interesting kind of

1494
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 2: run because and it was really kind of prompted, I

1495
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 2: saw it float in my timeline. And then we've got

1496
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 2: to place Chicago Boston owned, but Chicago staple called Portillo's

1497
01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:52,560
Speaker 2: that has an outpost down towards Disneyland here in southern California.

1498
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 2: And she was trying to lobby my older daughter, Hey,

1499
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 2: you know what, I'll drive. You'll be tired from work.

1500
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 2: You can nap in the car because forty minute drive whatever, like,

1501
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 2: you don't want a hot dog that bad. And the

1502
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 2: answer was yes, So that might be part of my

1503
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 2: post show plans. But that's when it started getting to

1504
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 2: me when you start thinking about what it costs to

1505
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,080
Speaker 2: go out and it is in line with you know,

1506
01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 2: prices raised everywhere else. Now, the other thing that we're

1507
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 2: keeping an eye on Copa America later on tonight, you know,

1508
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 2: all games televised on Fox, of course, but we had

1509
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 2: the Columbian coach he is salty because he was going

1510
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 2: off on the fact that with Shakira being the halftime act,

1511
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 2: that the halftime has to extend. Ryan Hollins in your career,

1512
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 2: when you have an extra performance, an extra little you

1513
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 2: know thing, when say we're talking about the playoffs during

1514
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 2: the clipped run, how does that go over in a

1515
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 2: locker room when suddenly those routines get disrupted.

1516
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 3: Can't stand it, you know, before the game, you know

1517
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 3: culture kind of alert a hates a national game or

1518
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 3: in the playoffs they're gonna add a little extra time.

1519
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 3: And can't stand it though, because you get cold. It

1520
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 3: changes your routine. You're you know, you're a creature of habit,

1521
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 3: but you get used to it. Probably the worst thing

1522
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 3: I've ever seen. It wasn't in the NBA, but it was.

1523
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 3: It was the Drew League, playing in the Drew League Championship.

1524
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 3: And don't get me wrong, I do it all over

1525
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:28,320
Speaker 3: again in the same exact way. And Kobe Bean Bryant

1526
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 3: comes in the building. I love me some Kobe, but

1527
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 3: Kobe shut the game down for about a good old,

1528
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 3: good old felt like thirty minutes to an hour man

1529
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 3: when he walked in and came in to kind of

1530
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 3: watch the game and the game change. But you know,

1531
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 3: this wasn't like a Kobe walk in, get that standing

1532
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 3: ovation and sit down like this was like a like

1533
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 3: it completely just stopped.

1534
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 2: Every everybody's staring like it's even the players are just gawking.

1535
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,560
Speaker 3: Oh, it felt like the game the game felt like

1536
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 3: an eternity. I mean probably the long this basketball game

1537
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 3: I ever played in. And then you know, Drew League.

1538
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 3: I'm like playing the whole game. I don't even know

1539
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 3: if I checked out, So like at some point, I'm like,

1540
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 3: this is not a ball game. This is a workout.

1541
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 2: Now, you gotta get back practice.

1542
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: Now.

1543
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 2: Now you're laying down while everybody's you know, bowing down

1544
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 2: to Kobe Bryant because you got to stretch back out. Yeah,

1545
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,440
Speaker 2: I get it informed again.

1546
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 3: And if I could do it all again, we do

1547
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 3: it the same way. Shout out being man, really really

1548
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 3: miss him. But yes, anytime you add in extra time, uh,

1549
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 3: that's that's tough to deal with, you know it is

1550
01:18:31,200 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 3: you get cold, and you know, I get it. There's

1551
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 3: a business behind. There's money to it. And you know,

1552
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 3: for those who don't know, for the national games versus

1553
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 3: the just the the regularly regularly scheduled games, there's extended timeouts.

1554
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 3: Was hey, just so you know it's a national game,

1555
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 3: the timeouts are longer, about thirty seconds longer to get

1556
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 3: the ads in. And that's the way these guys get paid.

1557
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 2: You gotta get paid. Eleven year, seventy six billion dollars,

1558
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:56,120
Speaker 2: Ryan Allins, not complain. I wish you were about five

01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 2: years younger now.

1560
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 3: You know what, you know, it's fun. I say this

1561
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,840

Speaker 3: I'm excited you guys are getting paid. I wish I

1565
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,840

1566
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,719
Speaker 3: legends in the room were probably looking at my paycheck

1567
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:20,000
Speaker 3: and going, are you kidding? Met? Ryan Hollins made how much?

1568
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 2: That's it? Right? That's it. Every generation blames the one before.

1569
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,080

1594
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 2: transitioning back to the Hard Rock Hotel after was once

1595
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,799
Speaker 2: a Vegas mainstay, will be again. Look forward to return

1596
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,120
Speaker 2: visit there at some point. But yeah, they by Nevada law,

1597
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 2: they've got to pay out this progressive jackpot and they're

1598
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 2: doing it creatively with you know, drawing. You know you're

1599
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 2: playing and then you put your your name in and

1600
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 2: maybe you get chosen. You gotta be on the floor,

1601
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,320
Speaker 2: these all these rules to it. If you don't answer

1602
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 2: within five minutes, next man up or woman up in

1603
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 2: terms of who gets that portion of the prize. But

1604
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,759
Speaker 2: what they had were a bunch of folks just sitting

1605
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 2: in front of the slot machines and hanging around, just

1606
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 2: thinking suddenly money was going to fall from the sky

1607
01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 2: for them.

1608
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 3: So the way you said, that's how I felt.

1609
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 2: No, No, you got to play. I mean you gotta

1610
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 2: be actively, you know, playing on a machine. That doesn't

1611
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 2: mean you got to go and burn through your life

1612
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,800
Speaker 2: savings and bleed through on a slow bleed for hours

1613
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 2: at a time. But you need to have demonstrated that

1614
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 2: you were actually part of the gaming activity, as opposed

1615
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 2: to a lookie lou who just wandered in from any

1616
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:50,880
Speaker 2: part unknown to get a WWE old wrestling kind of

1617
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 2: reference in parts unknown Wait unknown, Yeah, wow, six million.

1618
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 2: You could try to get your run in there in

1619
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, as well as covering some Summer League action.

1620
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 2: We'll get back into that. Some other stories still on

1621
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 2: the table for us as we cleaned up our final

1622
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 2: hour of the program here, but we'd be remiss. We

1623
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 2: had a caller earlier, and it's hot button topic, you know,

1624
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 2: time and and time again. You know, because you've got

1625
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 2: the camps divided, Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Now we're

1626
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 2: talking about the rookie of the year. The odds are

1627
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 2: still decidedly Caitlyn Clark either minus seven hundred or minus

1628
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,440
Speaker 2: eight hundred, depending on where you're shopping. So a prohibitive

1629
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 2: favorite in that regard. But you look at Angel Reese

1630
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 2: and what she's been able to do for the Chicago Sky,

1631
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 2: averaging thirteen point five points twelve rebounds a game. Got

1632
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 2: I gotta ask. I can't fault a good strategy, right,

1633
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,640
Speaker 2: You got a streak going that's being acknowledged, and you know,

1634
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 2: people are maybe putting a little different tone and respect

1635
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 2: on your name because of the double double. She went

1636
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 2: Ricky Davis the other day in a game that they

1637
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 2: were Yeah, I'm gonna say, I don't know if anybody

1638
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 2: else had the guts to do it, I'm doing it. Yeah,

1639
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,680
Speaker 2: I want or Russell Westbrook a few times the questionable

1640
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 2: tenth rebound or whatever, you know, where teammates in position

1641
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 2: and kind of lays off all right, you got that

1642
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,640
Speaker 2: one Russ and away we go. But it's the she

1643
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 2: did that against the Dream where they've got a lead,

1644
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 2: that it's dribbled the ball out and you're done. Instead,

1645
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 2: she's in the low post calling for it like it's

1646
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 2: a minute into the game. Let's go, let's go, gets filed,

1647
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 2: a couple of file shots, gets to her double double

1648
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 2: on the point side. Then you have the liberty. She's

1649
01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 2: able to extend it one more time. Problem is they

1650
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 2: get the liberty again, and the liberty at the end

1651
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 2: of the game, we're having none of it. To the

1652
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 2: point where you had three and four defenders as they

1653
01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:48,600
Speaker 2: did everything they could defeed Angel Reese the basketball in

1654
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 2: the final minute. She actually blew a wide open layup

1655
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 2: and bounced it off the back of the rim instead

1656
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 2: of using that nice little box that they draw up

1657
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 2: there for you to go glass or you know, finger

1658
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 2: role go George Gervinu. But the Liberty said, oh, hell no,

1659
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 2: it stops with us. So we're gonna put that in

1660
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 2: our bag for the year. But any problem with the

1661
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,720
Speaker 2: stat padding, I'm all for it. If it's gonna get

1662
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 2: me over, I'll be the villain.

1663
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 3: If if you put your work in and it's available.

1664
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:26,120
Speaker 3: I don't mind a little extra, you know what I'm saying, Like, like,

1665
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 3: if you put in your work, you played hard, you

1666
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 3: dive on the floor, you do that, and you're close,

1667
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,719
Speaker 3: I don't mind it. You know I've seen it. Hey,

1668
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 3: it happens both ways. You know, it's still entertainment. It's

1669
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 3: it's it's fun. It's saw it in Houston a bit.

1670
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:45,640
Speaker 3: And you know, from a coaching standpoint, it can go

1671
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 3: far away with a player, because sometimes it's just if

1672
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,040
Speaker 3: you look good, you feel good, you play good. It's

1673
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 3: all part of the energy. Jalen Green, I think Washington

1674
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 3: he was he was on, he was close to forty,

1675
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 3: and he may kind of left him in and let

1676
01:24:57,720 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 3: him kind of like get a three up, get close

1677
01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 3: to getting that forty er. I forget what it was

1678
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 3: one of those games, but he may did it. But

1679
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 3: it's kind of like a vote of confidence. And then

1680
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 3: the rest of the team's like, no, man, get your numbers.

1681
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:13,720
Speaker 3: Remember Kevin Porter, shout out, Kevin Porter's back with the

1682
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 3: Clippers now, and he was going for a triple double.

1683
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 3: And he gets the triple double because the guys let

1684
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 3: the ball bounce and it goes to him. It was

1685
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 3: like tip to him, bobbled and then I think the

1686
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 3: league came back and rescinded the rebound. But what I

1687
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:33,160
Speaker 3: love is the competitive nature from the liberty side to say, nah, man,

1688
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,240
Speaker 3: you ain't getting this on us. It ain't happening.

1689
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 2: Well, but she had her chance, right, She had a

1690
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 2: wide open layup that she missed. And then when they

1691
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 2: tried to feed her the ball one more time, they

1692
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 2: said nope.

1693
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,720
Speaker 3: No, no, no. Integrity of the game, no no, no, no, no.

1694
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 3: It means something you ain't getting on it. I mean,

1695
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 3: we'd say this in the locker. We know a guy

1696
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 3: had a street going or he's rolling, and you know,

1697
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 3: you take pride in being a good defensive team just

1698
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 3: in general, just saying you're not getting your numbers versusus.

1699
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 3: Know you're you're not getting you know, whatever it is

1700
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 3: you're known for. Not today. You know we play against

1701
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 3: Dwight Howards. You have a no dunk rule. Grab him,

1702
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 3: tackle him, do not let him get dunks.

1703
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 7: Uh.

1704
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 3: You know when he played, Hey, three prolific three point shooter.

1705
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 3: You know, like now the great greats ain't you ain't

1706
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 3: taking it away? You're like, hey, Kobe. We we ain't

1707
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 3: stopping you. We just don't want you to get hot.

1708
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,640
Speaker 3: We want you to have to work for it. But

1709
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 3: in the sense with angel Rees, yeah, of course she's

1710
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 3: stat Patton throwing that thing off the backboard, getting them

1711
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,759
Speaker 3: double doubles. She's smart. Man. That IQ was there and

1712
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 3: and the game is there also. But I like it

1713
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 3: from the competitive side, like you ain't getting your numbers, man,

1714
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 3: that's the uh, the integrity of the game kicking in

1715
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 3: and just not against us, no, even in the loss,

1716
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 3: not against us. We don't care.

1717
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:50,760
Speaker 2: Well unless you're the Raptors and they let Kobe go

1718
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 2: for eighty one.

1719
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 3: They didn't the whole time.

1720
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 2: Where was the second guy?

1721
01:26:56,240 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 3: I talked to Charlie villan Dueva. Okay, the game plan

1722
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 3: in the first half was see if he can do it,

1723
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 3: see if he can beat us. Raptors are actually winning.

1724
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 3: He told me this, We talked about this, had him

1725
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 3: on the podcast. He said, in second half, we're doubling him,

1726
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 3: running guys out them. There's nothing you could do at

1727
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:18,040
Speaker 3: a certain point, but you had never seen that guy.

1728
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 3: Just say forget the rest of the team. I would

1729
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 3: go get numbers. And he said as the game organically

1730
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,839
Speaker 3: went on. It was like, yo, he's not gonna stop.

1731
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 3: What Kobe did is not normal. But you know, you're right,

1732
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,200
Speaker 3: that will be a strategy sometimes because you have guys

1733
01:27:35,240 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 3: who are good passes, and what you do is when

1734
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 3: you double team. See this is the other side of it.

1735
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 3: When you double team, you give up open shots and

1736
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 3: you also give up rebounds because you can't get bodies

1737
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 3: on bodies on the rebounds. So you know, if a

1738
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 3: guy can fizzle out, it works. Kobe wouldn't fizzle out.

1739
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 2: Thought his elbow was gonna fly into the third deck

1740
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 2: or suddenly was wagon. I mean, you know the guy

1741
01:27:57,120 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 2: was in shape. You weren't gonna suddenly fatigue him. Sit

1742
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:01,719
Speaker 2: people thuckets are coming that easy.

1743
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,080
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't have that mentality though, you

1744
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 3: know at a certain point, like they're over it. I

1745
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 3: remember or for instance, you know, first time it ever happened.

1746
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 3: You know, we were playing against the Knicks, Jason's Knicks,

1747
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 3: and this is when Raymond Felton was there and Tyson

1748
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 3: Chandler Raymond former team of an excellent lob thower, you know,

1749
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 3: and the game plan was like no lobs of Tyson

1750
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 3: Chandler stay home on the three and make Raymond Felton

1751
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,920
Speaker 3: shoot floaters, and like, we end up beating the next

1752
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 3: I think Carmelo. Carmelo was on it take to we

1753
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 3: end up beating the Knicks because it was like Raymond

1754
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 3: just keeps shooting floaters and he was such a good,

1755
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 3: you know, playmaker. He wanted to hit those corner threes.

1756
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 3: He wanted the lob the Tyson you know, he wanted

1757
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:49,640
Speaker 3: to go out and make those plays. But because we

1758
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 3: took it away, it just it didn't work.

1759
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 2: I like that we were able to get Tyson Chandler

1760
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 2: and Raymond Felton into a show. Here did we get

1761
01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 2: some some twenty twenty four in the middle of us

1762
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 2: a year right there? You can you tube, But these

1763
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:06,200
Speaker 2: guys were big deals. Tyson Chandler once upon a time,

1764
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 2: very high draft pick. And we'll leave you that where

1765
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 2: it is because that brings up bad memories of a

1766
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 2: tough time for my franchise. Of course, since nineteen ninety eight,

1767
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 2: it's pretty much a tough franchise run for me in

1768
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:22,599
Speaker 2: Chicago there, Ryan Hollins, no question about it. But I mean,

1769
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 2: let's parse it down. I mean, Caitlin Clark, we see

1770
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 2: the flash, We see the sizzle, turnovers pile up, some

1771
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 2: of that teammates, some of that a bit aggressive and

1772
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 2: sometimes just in the lane losing her handle and getting

1773
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:37,719
Speaker 2: a little bit of careless with the basketball for Angel

1774
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 2: Reese grinding it out. We talk about points and rebounds,

1775
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 2: and everybody's starting to run the stats of how much

1776
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 2: more effective for winning higher assist total is and whatever else.

1777
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 2: But I gotta say I and I were having this

1778
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 2: conversation a bit earlier about Angel Reese, and it's like

1779
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 2: she starts putting together a little bit of a jump shot.

1780
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,240
Speaker 2: You got trouble, and you got to someone who's going to,

1781
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:05,480
Speaker 2: you know, really start pushing that next level of stardom.

1782
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 2: Not just all right, here's the rivalry with Clark hero's villains,

1783
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 2: whichever your perspective is on that side of the lens.

1784
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:15,799
Speaker 2: But also for those that want to dismiss the double double,

1785
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,560
Speaker 2: you start adding a little bit more of a jump shot,

1786
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 2: and you know, all of those criticisms go by the

1787
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,680
Speaker 2: wayside pretty quick, and you put some more respect on

1788
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 2: her name.

1789
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, here's the thing. People that understand why Angel

1790
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 3: reach She's probably closer to Draymond than anything I don't

1791
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 3: say this with any any due respect.

1792
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, it's an analogy we've made. Yeah.

1793
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, she's a winner. Her IQ was really really high,

1794
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 3: and she she yet like understands the media, you know,

1795
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 3: and she'll she'll poke at you. She's fiery, she'll she'll

1796
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 3: stir some stuff up. She's not afraid to speak her mind.

1797
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 3: But she's a winner. She also under should Hey, I

1798
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:54,760
Speaker 3: got this little double double thing going. You know, I'm

1799
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 3: a pad some stats, miss some layups, you know, get

1800
01:30:57,280 --> 01:30:59,719
Speaker 3: it off the backboard, pat it's it myself a few times,

1801
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 3: and you know, I'll get a double double. I'll be

1802
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 3: I'll be in these conversations, these national conversations. But her intelligence, Man's,

1803
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:10,680
Speaker 3: she's a winner. She's a piece of a championship. And

1804
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 3: you're right, she develops that jumper. You got to jump

1805
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 3: up on her. And she's an athlete. She'll get around.

1806
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:17,760
Speaker 3: You should be at the rim. But you know, shout

1807
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 3: out to Angel Reese. Man. I like what she's doing.

1808
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,679
Speaker 3: But I think people kind of gloss over the success

1809
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 3: that she's had. She's the reason because of it, you know,

1810
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 3: her attitude, and that's where I'm kind of drawing those

1811
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,720
Speaker 3: Draymond Winner. Comparisons like that stuff in Golden State don't

1812
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 3: happen without Draymond.

1813
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,799
Speaker 2: And whatever the secret sauces they've figured out as a team,

1814
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:41,479
Speaker 2: coaching staff, whatever. Kennedy Carter, who's had issues at other

1815
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 2: stops in her WNBA career, is playing really good basketball

1816
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,960
Speaker 2: as well. But for Angel Rees Caitland Clark, the hard

1817
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 2: part for me, Ryan, and it's the hot take nonsense

1818
01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 2: of our sports radio and television world, is most of

1819
01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 2: the arguments are disingenuous. Right we get into the all

1820
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:04,759
Speaker 2: right stat padding verse is you know, dismissing just piling

1821
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 2: up ten rebounds and yeah, she's not scoring thirty at night.

1822
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 2: But on the Caitlin Clark side, it's like, if you

1823
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 2: want to go to turnovers, great, they're not very good teams, right.

1824
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:17,919
Speaker 2: Indiana is one game ahead of the Sky ten wins

1825
01:32:18,040 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 2: versus nine, So not a lot of differentiation going on there.

1826
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 2: But you know what, if it keeps the flames alive

1827
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 2: and people talking about the WNBA as we are here,

1828
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,400
Speaker 2: then mission accomplished. As long as we can keep it

1829
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 2: actually talking about basketball and the acumen thereof He's Ryan Hollins.

1830
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:39,799
Speaker 2: I'm by Carmen here Fox Sports Sunday would be remiss.

1831
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:44,040
Speaker 2: It's been very strained set forty eight hours. You've got

1832
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 2: the outside world, you know, outside of our little sports bubble,

1850
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 3: lot going on right now, to say the least.

1851
01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot to process. We'll await further details

1852

Speaker 2: He's Ryan. I'm Mike at the Ryan Hollins at Swollen

1857
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 2: Dome is where you find us in the Twitter verse,

1858
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 2: and I've avoided it long enough. We got to go

1859
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:19,240
Speaker 2: back and revisit the Brownie James first couple of runs

1860
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 2: here in Summer League. But also something his dad told

1861
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 2: the Today Show while doing his media rounds for the

1862
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,160
Speaker 2: men's national team, which I think is going to be

1863
01:34:27,320 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 2: a curious case study to watch this year. That's next

1864
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 2: on Fox. Hey, welcome back in It's Fox Sports Sunday,

1865
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Mike Carmon alongside Ryan Hollins here atthe

1866
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:43,760
Speaker 2: tirerac dot Com Studios Championship Day. We've got Alkarez trying

1867
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:47,200
Speaker 2: to finish off Yokovic here at the Wimbledon's Men's Final.

1868
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 2: And then we've got a full day of soccer on Fox,

1869
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 2: with the Euro twenty twenty four and Copa America finals

1870
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:58,400
Speaker 2: later on today. A lot of good soccer action plenty.

1871
01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 2: In Summer League Major League Baseball final day before the

1872
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:05,240
Speaker 2: All Star Break, Aaron Judge up to thirty four home runs.

1873
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,679
Speaker 2: Who knew all it took was the GM going down

1874
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 2: and flying down to Tampa and the owner being present

1875
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 2: for them to suddenly, you know, crack the whip and

1876
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,920
Speaker 2: start playing baseball again. But Aaron Judge on a run

1877
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,719
Speaker 2: that we'll probably need to pay attention to in terms

1878
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 2: of those historic fun runs that we've seen him go

1879
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,479

1886
01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:47,519
Speaker 2: Ian right after we get off the air. Ryan Hollins,

1887
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 2: you're there in Vegas. How much oxygen does Lebron James

1888
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:52,679
Speaker 2: take out of the room.

1889
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 3: He fills the room with oxygen. Man, he makes a

1890
01:35:57,280 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 3: big time. Let me tell you to a matter of perspective,

1891
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,639
Speaker 3: it is you're you're right, You're right for one well,

1892
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:06,880
Speaker 3: especially you're in Vegas. At the Team USA. It's a

1893
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:12,839
Speaker 3: very Laker heavy, very Los Angeles, uh you know crowd.

1894
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:16,880
Speaker 3: So no, they're yeah, they're a big time too for

1895
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 3: Brownni and for Lebron. But man, the more I kind

1896
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:23,759
Speaker 3: of watched Team USA, I didn't really realize how iconic

1897
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:29,440
Speaker 3: it was. This. This is probably the most star studded

1898
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 3: kind of like like put together team. You know, Team

1899
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 3: USA is seen in a while since it was like Wade, Carmelo, Lebron,

1900
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 3: it was the Banana boat crew Bosh or they kind

1901
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 3: of you know, teamed up for the heat deal. But

1902
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:50,240
Speaker 3: like you got Lebron and Curry and KD leading the starters,

1903
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:53,640
Speaker 3: and then Joel and Beide the most dominant big in

1904
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:55,640
Speaker 3: the league. I'll see the most dominant Yo kich is

1905
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:57,719
Speaker 3: the most polished. Okay, don't want to have that debate.

1906
01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 3: And then you know you got Anti Edwards off the

1907
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:04,920
Speaker 3: bench with Tatum World Championship, Tatum and out of Baio

1908
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,880
Speaker 3: in those guys, I'm excited for USA basketball man. But

1909
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 3: again it's it's Lebron making that commitment to be there.

1910
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 3: He definitely he makes this thing special. But he definitely

1911
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 3: brought the juice to Vegas.

1912
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 2: Well, but that's the thing, right, playing those extra hard

1913
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,719
Speaker 2: in some of those timeouts. We saw the workouts before

1914
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:25,080
Speaker 2: the game with Anthony Edwards working on their time and

1915
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 2: and just he and Steph Curry look like little kids

1916
01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:29,719
Speaker 2: when they're being interviewed or talking to each other, which

1917
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 2: is great to see. I mean, I met it for

1918
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:34,360
Speaker 2: the AX. Like the rest of the guys, I mean

1919
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:37,840
Speaker 2: they're all all stars and heavyweights in their own right, right,

1920
01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 2: you just went down the roster full of them, you know,

1921
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 2: heavyweight contenders. But compared to Lebron, it's like, yeah, they

1922
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,439
Speaker 2: go ask him more questions. Like the greatest thing that

1923
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:50,640
Speaker 2: he could have is Brownie being there, showing up to

1924
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 2: the Summer League while they were still there before they

1925
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:58,640
Speaker 2: left for Abu Dhabi, which again Steph Curry's reaction to

1926
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 2: seeing a guy standing there with a falcon or a

1927
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 2: hawk or whatever the hell I had on his arm

1928
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 2: was pretty cool as well. Did you think all these

1929
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 2: guys so globally known and have done all these trips

1930
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,680
Speaker 2: on behalf of the companies they work with, and just

1931
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 2: general travel for their own edification and relaxation. That there's

1932
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,719
Speaker 2: still those things that bring out those wide eyed kid moments.

1933
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 2: It's still pretty cool to me. So I kind of

1934
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:22,680
Speaker 2: dig that.

1935
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it's fun. A lot of good like I said,

1936
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 3: a lot of good energy here going on in Vegas.

1937
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 3: But like again, Mike at my wrong, Like this is

1938
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:36,040
Speaker 3: like I think one of those special moments for Team

1939
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 3: USA is you might not get back. You know, you're

1940
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 3: gonna have to remember this is this run here.

1941
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 2: Well, and let's it right, you go back to nineteen

1942
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 2: ninety two when they all came together. You had all

1943
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 2: of the legends and just like this team, you know,

1944
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 2: the gradients of the up and comers, the old guard,

1945
01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 2: you know, the final throws, magic and bird, et cetera.

1946
01:38:57,360 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 2: You know they played a while longer, but you know

1947
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:04,080
Speaker 2: they weren't the same guys. Jordan was just getting into

1948
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 2: his run. You look at David Robinson, all of those

1949
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,760
Speaker 2: ad Christian Laitner, who I think had a pretty underrated

1950
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 2: NBA career overall. It's not his fault he was drafted third.

1951
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,600
Speaker 2: But you know, when it's all said and done. You know,

1952
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 2: you've got that where the rest of the world's basketball

1953
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 2: hadn't developed, So these guys become even that much larger

1954
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 2: because you know the competition has gotten that much better,

1955
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,640
Speaker 2: and that to win another gold medal will be a

1956
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:33,920
Speaker 2: taller task. You know, I hate the comparisons in battles

1957
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:38,040
Speaker 2: between generations because I think some of them, as we've

1958
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 2: talked about in the past, Ryan, don't necessarily they're they're

1959
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:44,439
Speaker 2: apples and oranges in some apples and oranges comparisons in

1960
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:47,120
Speaker 2: some regard. But you know, here, you've got a squad

1961
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 2: just full of guys. For the last twenty years, I

1962
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 2: have filled highlight reels, finals appearances, All Star Game appearances,

1963
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,800
Speaker 2: big moments we could talk about changing the game, whether

1964
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 2: that's Lebron, Steph Kevin Durant and his six foot nine

1965
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 2: self getting out there all of those things. I gotta

1966
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 2: do it. I gotta do it. He let the cat

1967
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:11,280
Speaker 2: out of the bag. Everybody's shorter, it's been I've been

1968
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:15,679
Speaker 2: wwe worked all along. But for Lebron James, he's also

1969
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:19,360
Speaker 2: got the the Bronni James questions that he's got to answer,

1970
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 2: which I'm sure many of the players there would love

1971
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 2: to to a degree, but are also loving that he's

1972
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 2: got to be the first guy to really go through

1973
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:30,160
Speaker 2: it in this way. He was on the Today Show

1974
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:32,679
Speaker 2: being asked, well, once you actually get to training camp

1975
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 2: with the Lakers, how's this gonna work?

1976
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 3: That's gonna work?

1977
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:40,800
Speaker 7: Just like anyone other my teammates, hold him accountable, man,

1978
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:42,960
Speaker 7: he should hold me accountable when I do things. You know,

1979
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:46,360
Speaker 7: you're not right, you know for me, you know, I

1980
01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 7: probably would hold him at a higher standard because you know,

1981
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 7: I want him to be great. I want him to

1982
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 7: be as great as he can be.

1983
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 2: Does he get to do the Dad? I'm not mad,

1984
01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:58,719
Speaker 2: I'm just disappointed. How's that work? At a huddle?

1985
01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 3: Well? The first Bronnie is not going to be holding

1986
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:04,800
Speaker 3: lebron accountable by any measure of the bat.

1987
01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 2: Well noticed he couldn't say the word wrong there, Ryan Hollins, right,

1988
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 2: he did not use the word wrong in describing Bronni

1989
01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 2: trying to, you know, help him.

1990
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, it ain't it ain't happening. That

1991
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 3: ain't happening. Okay, but it's cool to see, you know,

1992
01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:28,240
Speaker 3: But I get where he's going with that. Man, I

1993
01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:31,920
Speaker 3: can't imagine I can't imagine those shoes, man, pretty pretty

1994
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 3: cool shoes. Lebron we're all living through your brother with

1995
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:34,599
Speaker 3: this one.

1996
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's certainly one of those. And again from

1997
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:40,439
Speaker 2: every walk of life, how many stores growing up had

1998
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 2: the and sons or and family on the back end

1999
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:46,720
Speaker 2: of it, or the big thing was tagging that it

2000
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 2: was a family business along the way. I mean, that's

2001
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 2: certainly part of the process as we go. And look,

2002
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's going to turn out, you know,

2003
01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 2: I root for the kid. He seems like he's got

2004
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:00,640
Speaker 2: a pretty good head on his shoulder. He needs to

2005
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 2: find a three point shot pretty fast. But beyond that,

2006
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:07,759
Speaker 2: seems like he's got, you know, the the right level

2007
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 2: of respect for what's about to come, you know, saying

2008
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 2: all the right things. He's certainly gone through watching the

2009
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 2: way his father's words have been parsed out for all

2010
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:20,320
Speaker 2: these years. And look, Lebron's cagey. He knows the messages

2011
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 2: he's getting out. So let's not let's not be coy

2012
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,080
Speaker 2: about it there. But for Bronnie, you know, saying hey,

2013
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 2: I'll take the minutes in development wherever I can get

2014
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:30,400
Speaker 2: it right, He's saying all the right things, because let's

2015
01:42:30,439 --> 01:42:33,559
Speaker 2: face it, folks have had the the hammers out and

2016
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 2: the Daggers for him, you know, since before the draft,

2017
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 2: in the months of build up, and then once they

2018
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:41,880
Speaker 2: added a day two to the draft just for him,

2019
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,599
Speaker 2: you know that that's going to be met with an

2020
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:48,280
Speaker 2: even higher level of skepticism to it all.

2021
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and and here's the thing. You know when

2022
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 3: you talk about Bronnie, I mean just he's completely out

2023
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 3: of context. Man. He's the fifty fifth pick. He's a

2024
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 3: exposive athlete. The potential is there, He's got his work

2025
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:08,479
Speaker 3: cut out, and you gotta understand outside of him getting

2026
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:11,920
Speaker 3: a guaranteed contract, it's not abnormal. But you got to

2027
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:16,719
Speaker 3: understand the business side of things also. And if we've

2028
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 3: seen this, we've seen other players drafted in that position.

2029
01:43:20,200 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 3: You know, when you're the fifteenth man, especially with these

2030
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,560
Speaker 3: you know, the two way contracts, and you know the

2031
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,760
Speaker 3: popularity and the stronger use of the G League with

2032
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:30,360
Speaker 3: some of these guys, you can go and make a

2033
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 3: business pick. Man, Bronnie James is gonna he's already sold

2034
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 3: out the South Bay Lakers ticket sales. Okay, there's gonna

2035
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,840
Speaker 3: be jerseys being sold. You know, he's gonna make a

2036
01:43:40,880 --> 01:43:43,840
Speaker 3: lot of money for the Los Angeles Lakers, and the

2037
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 3: moment that he gets into a game with his father

2038
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 3: is gonna be special. And I can see Lebron pushing

2039
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 3: the ball down the middle, Bronnie running the lane. He's

2040
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:55,080
Speaker 3: gonna throw up a lob to him and be watching

2041
01:43:55,120 --> 01:43:56,920
Speaker 3: that clip for a very long time. Man. So it's

2042
01:43:56,920 --> 01:44:00,439
Speaker 3: gonna be some cool stuff that will be to see you.

2043
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:02,639
Speaker 3: But if anything, the history will be made. But again

2044
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:04,559
Speaker 3: for the fifth to fifth pick, I think people need

2045
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:08,200
Speaker 3: to calm down. I think their hate, they're lust for

2046
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:12,800
Speaker 3: Lebron just take a back seat in moments. Maybe you

2047
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,760
Speaker 3: don't agree and I don't agree with everything Lebron doesn't

2048
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:16,800
Speaker 3: keep it in context.

2049
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:19,560
Speaker 2: No, But in this particular case, when you have leverage

2050
01:44:19,960 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 2: in any walk of life, you're gonna use it. Right

2051
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 2: in this case, it's the fifty fifth pick. As you say,

2052
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:28,720
Speaker 2: we can go through the history of the drafts, and yeah,

2053
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,720
Speaker 2: we can find guys that were undrafted and made their

2054
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,679
Speaker 2: way in. We could find guys down around that pick,

2055
01:44:34,760 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 2: or maybe a couple of picks lower that became all

2056
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:41,320
Speaker 2: stars or pivotal role players on teams. I mean, nobody's

2057
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:44,840
Speaker 2: saying that, but to try to claim this was going

2058
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:47,600
Speaker 2: to be the pick that's putting anybody over. Let's be

2059
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:50,680
Speaker 2: honest with ourselves here, now, is it something that can

2060
01:44:50,760 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 2: be packaged? I don't know how much value does a

2061
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 2: fifty fifth pick have? Not a whole hell of a lot, right,

2062
01:44:55,400 --> 01:44:58,120
Speaker 2: because everybody else realizes for what it is to right,

2063
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 2: you try to pile up as many numbers ones as

2064
01:45:00,520 --> 01:45:03,559
Speaker 2: you can because you may have a bad year and

2065
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 2: suddenly it has that much more value or it's another

2066
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:09,280
Speaker 2: chip to trade. Whatever. Fifty fifth pick doesn't have a

2067
01:45:09,320 --> 01:45:11,840
Speaker 2: whole lot to it. So as you say, not only

2068
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 2: from a financial standpoint, that eight millions is a drop,

2069
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,640
Speaker 2: is a drop of the bucket, right in terms of

2070
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 2: what they're going to make merchandising the hell out of

2071
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:23,759
Speaker 2: Bronnie James, there's no question about that. But it also

2072
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 2: made sure your relationship and again I don't know long

2073
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 2: term like what you need to do with it, but

2074
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 2: at least for now, Rich Paul has a lot of clout.

2075
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:36,679
Speaker 2: So long as lebron James is in the game, they're

2076
01:45:36,760 --> 01:45:39,400
Speaker 2: still at the head of the table. To steal another

2077
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:43,440
Speaker 2: wrestling reference, as we talk about you know, the bloodline,

2078
01:45:43,800 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 2: Paul Hayman, Roman reigns and all that fun stuff that

2079
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 2: he gets to stir the drink a little bit more.

2080
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:51,080
Speaker 2: You don't have to like it, but you have to

2081
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,280
Speaker 2: acknowledge it. And for the Lakers, they decided to do business.

2082
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:56,840
Speaker 2: They wanted to stay in the Lebron James business for

2083
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:00,760
Speaker 2: myriad reasons, right, loyalty, family history, all of that kind

2084
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 2: of stuff. Have him retire a Laker and not see

2085
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 2: him potentially strong arm to another place again. I would

2086
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:09,479
Speaker 2: have liked to see Bronni drafted somewhere else out of spite,

2087
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 2: just to see what the chaos that would ensued. Not

2088
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:15,040
Speaker 2: denying the cool moment in any way, shape or form, Ryan,

2089
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 2: But for the Lakers, there's business pragmatism, and at right

2090
01:46:19,240 --> 01:46:21,760
Speaker 2: now you've still got to play with some of the

2091
01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 2: rich Paul clientele. Once Lebron's gone, does he still wield

2092
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:29,439
Speaker 2: that much power at least? No, because Draymond's going to

2093
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 2: be out of the game too, right, So you know,

2094
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:35,080
Speaker 2: we look at that, But for now you're playing ball

2095
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:38,680
Speaker 2: based on the current setup, this current landscape, and the

2096
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:39,600
Speaker 2: rules of engagement.

2097
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:45,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, for rich, he's got more clients than Lebron. Obviously,

2098
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 3: the Lebron is the one who started everything, but he's

2099
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 3: put men, He's done an excellent job, creating quite an

2100
01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 3: empire man and making his own name. So it's more

2101
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:54,760
Speaker 3: clientele than no.

2102
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 2: I'm just saying in terms of guys with that kind

2103
01:46:57,520 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 2: of power.

2104
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:03,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, now right, well, you know Lebron. Lebron's power

2105
01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:06,040
Speaker 3: is much more than than basketball, you know, and it

2106
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:10,160
Speaker 3: does trickle over into basketball, undoubtedly, as it should because

2107
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:12,160
Speaker 3: the work that he's put in. But I want I

2108
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 3: want to ask this to you. Am I wrong to

2109
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:21,559
Speaker 3: think that everybody shooting down Bronnie James is being played?

2110
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:29,200
Speaker 3: But is Lebron's longevity due to Bronnie? You get what

2111
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like, Lebron definitely.

2112
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 2: Got to find motivation somewhere.

2113
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:35,559
Speaker 3: Right about three years ago, you would say, give it. Tecker,

2114
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 3: who knows how long he had it in mind, was

2115
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 3: like I gotta keep like like, dude, you get to

2116
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:43,479
Speaker 3: a certain point, Mike, you know, and you wake up

2117
01:47:43,520 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 3: every day and you're like, do I want to do this? Right?

2118
01:47:46,240 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 3: Like what's your why? Like it got to a point where,

2119
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:50,519
Speaker 3: you know, in the NBA, it's like, you know, the

2120
01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 3: dream is to make it to the league. You get

2121
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:53,880
Speaker 3: to the league and it's like, after a while, it's like, no,

2122
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:56,280
Speaker 3: I'm happy to be here. I'm loving it. I'm not

2123
01:47:56,280 --> 01:47:58,200
Speaker 3: going to be an All Star, you know, I'm looking

2124
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 3: to just to be here. But Lebron has been pushing

2125
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 3: and pushing and pushing. Am I wrong to think that

2126
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:07,720
Speaker 3: BRONI has somehow this pick, this fifty fifth pick is

2127
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 3: the last three years kind of kept him going with

2128
01:48:11,080 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 3: this play.

2129
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to think that's certainly part of the pie.

2130
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 2: The other side, you know, and folks can argue all

2131
01:48:17,200 --> 01:48:19,639
Speaker 2: they want about winning and all of that fun stuff

2132
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:23,560
Speaker 2: as you look at roster constructions and everything else like that.

2133
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,360
Speaker 2: That's much larger debate than what we've got the space

2134
01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:30,520
Speaker 2: for in this moment. Ryan, But yeah, you're finding motivations

2135
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 2: for him a lot about statistics. I mean, he can't

2136
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 2: deny that. In terms of separating yourself from some of

2137
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:41,080
Speaker 2: the other legends fueling the Jordan debate, even though some

2138
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 2: will reduce it to titles, you know, and just leave

2139
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:46,760
Speaker 2: it there. You know that maybe it's more nuanced. I

2140
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:50,200
Speaker 2: don't know about some of the efforts to go back

2141
01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 2: and find the suppruter film to discredit guys for stats

2142
01:48:53,960 --> 01:48:56,519
Speaker 2: they were credited with, because now you get the other

2143
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 2: side doing the same with Lebron with some of the

2144
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,559
Speaker 2: rebounds or assists or things of that nature. So it

2145
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 2: gets a little bit into a pettiness thing. And as

2146
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 2: we say, pettiness knows no tax bracket. But yeah, records

2147
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 2: and the idea of either playing with his son or

2148
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:15,840
Speaker 2: being able to say, yeah, my body held up long enough, kid,

2149
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:18,680
Speaker 2: I was still here when you got here. So all

2150
01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 2: of that, I think play is it's just a matter

2151
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:21,639
Speaker 2: of how you want to chop up that pie.

2152
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:24,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, it has to and it and again, man,

2153
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:28,840
Speaker 3: it's it's a it's just really cool to see and

2154
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 3: you know, just seeing Bronnie and and thinking of the

2155
01:49:33,240 --> 01:49:36,400
Speaker 3: magnitude of what's going on, like like, Mike, tell me

2156
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 3: how I want to see this? How much? How much

2157
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:40,840
Speaker 3: have you heard about the first pick in the draft

2158
01:49:40,880 --> 01:49:41,720
Speaker 3: or a second.

2159
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:43,760
Speaker 2: Not a whole lot. I mean I watched the uh

2160
01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:46,840
Speaker 2: the Summer League game that was on after Bronnie and

2161
01:49:46,920 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 2: what eighty percent of the people left the arena after

2162
01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:54,120
Speaker 2: the that Rockets Lakers game ended, and that it might

2163
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 2: be a little more aggressive but either way, the point

2164
01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:57,799
Speaker 2: was there were a lot of empty seats.

2165
01:49:57,960 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, right, you're not hearing anything. Bronnie's getting the

2166
01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:03,120
Speaker 3: coverage that the number one pick would get, and obviously

2167
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 3: because he's Lebron Jay's son, but in some way I

2168
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:10,720
Speaker 3: also see this, and I want to know how you

2169
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 3: feel about this. I think when I'm watching Lebron, I

2170
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,759
Speaker 3: think his strategy is also to put pressure on Bronnie

2171
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:21,360
Speaker 3: because a lot of the comments he's made has put

2172
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 3: him under the spotlight. It's something he can't run from,

2173
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 3: and it's almost like I'm going to control the narrative

2174
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,519
Speaker 3: and with a kid has talented as Bronnie in the

2175
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 3: situation that he can't run from. And keep in mind,

2176
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 3: Lebron has had the most hype of any player that

2177
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:40,719
Speaker 3: we have ever seen play the game and exceeded that hype.

2178
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:43,720
Speaker 3: Don't leave that out for that perspective. I think there's

2179
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 3: a level where Lebron has purposely put pressure on Bronnie

2180
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:51,439
Speaker 3: to have to meet these expectations, to kind of like

2181
01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:55,120
Speaker 3: put him under the fire, you know. And I'm excited

2182
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:57,559
Speaker 3: to see because he's gonna have to make choices here,

2183
01:50:57,600 --> 01:50:59,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to meet those. You know, he doesn't

2184
01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:01,920
Speaker 3: have to do any make no mistake. But again, if

2185
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 3: this is something that he wants to do, this is

2186
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:06,200
Speaker 3: gonna be a part of it. And am I wrong

2187
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:08,240
Speaker 3: to think that Lebron is kind of like, no kid

2188
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:10,439
Speaker 3: like you want this? This is what it looks like

2189
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 3: being a James.

2190
01:51:11,320 --> 01:51:12,840
Speaker 2: Well, but it's like anything I can get you in

2191
01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 2: the door, you're gonna have to play well enough to

2192
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:18,120
Speaker 2: go take it for yourself. Yes, let's talk about Reesa

2193
01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 2: che and sor maybe next week a little bit more.

2194
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 2: But now we're gonna turn it over to Isaac Lowan

01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 2: Crown Ryan Hollins, because he's got some breaking news in

2215
01:52:25,720 --> 01:52:29,439
Speaker 6: opposite end of the spectrum. Tragic news this morning out

2216
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:32,360

2222
01:52:55,160 --> 01:52:58,600
Speaker 6: of yet. Jones played nine seasons in the NFL. He

2223
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:02,519

01:55:24,120 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 2: it was a tough week. Did you watch it on

2270
01:55:25,600 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 2: the plane?

2271
01:55:26,200 --> 01:55:28,000
Speaker 3: Did you sleep? You know? I still don't have wi

2272
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:30,960
Speaker 3: Fi at home. So no, there's no no clip yet,

2273
01:55:31,200 --> 01:55:33,760
Speaker 3: but I think a hurricane gives me an excuse.

2274
01:55:33,880 --> 01:55:37,000
Speaker 2: No, no, there's no question about it. That's why I

2275
01:55:37,120 --> 01:55:41,200
Speaker 2: approached it very gently. I approached it very gently, you know,

2276
01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:42,839
Speaker 2: because you could have done it, you know, last Sunday.

2277
01:55:43,080 --> 01:55:45,080
Speaker 2: But you know, it's kind of thing I was trying

2278
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:47,320
Speaker 2: to spur you on because eventually I gotta I gotta

2279
01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:51,000
Speaker 2: get the full breakdown of well, how much fiction we've

2280
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:54,080
Speaker 2: really got there? But another show that started is this

2281
01:55:54,320 --> 01:55:58,240
Speaker 2: Netflix Receiver. Show comes in the wake of The Quarterback

2282
01:55:58,280 --> 01:56:00,560
Speaker 2: Show a year ago where everybody got introduced to a

2283
01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:04,320
Speaker 2: new level of Kirk Cousins. Here's Patrick Mahomes. Congratulations, they're

2284
01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:07,280
Speaker 2: expecting another kid. But now you got a number of receivers.

2285
01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 2: One of them is Detroit Lyons star Alan Ross Saint Brown,

2286
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:13,400
Speaker 2: he revealed, and I wanted to ask you this one

2287
01:56:13,440 --> 01:56:17,400
Speaker 2: from an NBA perspective. He played with his oblique rip

2288
01:56:17,560 --> 01:56:21,800
Speaker 2: from the bone still putting up fifteen hundred yards. What

2289
01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 2: the hell superhuman stuff is that?

2290
01:56:25,040 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm no medical expert. That that don't sound good.

2291
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 2: And what are we getting you together with on a

2292
01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:34,440
Speaker 2: Sunday to get you through sixty minutes of running up

2293
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:36,160
Speaker 2: and down. That's what I want to know. Give me

2294
01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:39,400
Speaker 2: some of that. But his dad, and this is great

2295
01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:42,640
Speaker 2: John Brown, as they're going through and talking about the

2296
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:45,680
Speaker 2: rise of he and his brother, you know who also

2297
01:56:45,760 --> 01:56:49,880
Speaker 2: plays Equanimius Saint Brown and you get a long in

2298
01:56:49,920 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 2: the league. But he gave him the advice of what

2299
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:53,320
Speaker 2: he should do at halftime.

2300
01:56:55,840 --> 01:56:59,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because.

2301
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what he was young to do it,

2302
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:20,120
Speaker 2: all right, So you get the ambient noise, but you

2303
01:57:20,200 --> 01:57:21,680
Speaker 2: know he said I did it when I was young.

2304
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:24,760
Speaker 2: Coke is the thing again. He had referenced Coca Cola

2305
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:27,720
Speaker 2: explicitly a little bit earlier in that clip. So there

2306
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:31,120
Speaker 2: are not two different paths that John Brown was taking

2307
01:57:31,200 --> 01:57:34,280
Speaker 2: us on there. So let's keep that straight. Uh would

2308
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:38,040
Speaker 2: you use at halftime coffee or just go to water?

2309
01:57:38,120 --> 01:57:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, gave away the electrolytes?

2310
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:42,400
Speaker 3: What what have we got? I used to take a

2311
01:57:44,240 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 3: later on when I first came into like I was young,

2312
01:57:46,240 --> 01:57:48,760
Speaker 3: I had too much energy. You know, need need something

2313
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:53,280
Speaker 3: after a while, eighty two games you want to create consistency.

2314
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 3: So I almost want to say it was C four.

2315
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:59,600
Speaker 3: I was taking it like an energy drink. And then

2316
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 3: It got to a point after that one of my

2317
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:06,400
Speaker 3: strength coaches shout out the rich I think riches with

2318
01:58:06,480 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 3: the knicks now and he was like, well, why are

2319
01:58:08,200 --> 01:58:10,080
Speaker 3: you taking all that? I was like, well, I want

2320
01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:12,080
Speaker 3: the caffeine. So he was like, the point is for

2321
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 3: you to get caffeine, right, get some energy. And then

2322
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 3: I've seen guys take Red bulls. I wasn't a big

2323
01:58:16,880 --> 01:58:19,000
Speaker 3: fan of Red bull because a lot of the sugars

2324
01:58:19,440 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 3: in the Red Bull. I hope, I'm not talking sponsorship now,

2325
01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 3: We'll leave it there.

2326
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 2: No, it's not a sponsor.

2327
01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:30,839
Speaker 3: It got to the point of there were these caffeine strips,

2328
01:58:32,040 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 3: and the caffeine strips really work because it's like straight caffeine,

2329
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 3: straight caffeine. And I think Chris at the time, Chris

2330
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:43,560
Speaker 3: Paul was like a you know, one of the investors

2331
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:47,760
Speaker 3: behind it. But those caffeine strips just straight caffeine.

2332
01:58:47,800 --> 01:58:50,280
Speaker 2: The energy got of like mixteen patches. So there you go.

2333
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:52,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, but at the end of the day,

2334
01:58:53,600 --> 01:58:55,680
Speaker 3: you're drinking coffee, you're doing. All you want is caffeine.

2335
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 3: So the caffeine strip made the most sense. And to

2336
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:00,840
Speaker 3: this day, I still keep strips on me and I

2337
01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 3: don't use them a lot, but when I need them,

2338
01:59:03,240 --> 01:59:04,160
Speaker 3: like I call upon them.

2339
01:59:04,200 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 2: Look at that sometimes you're going to the well. You

2340
01:59:06,840 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 2: forget that this is your guy over in the fun

2341
01:59:09,600 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 2: and exciting world of Detroit. You got aman Ross, Saint

2342
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:18,040
Speaker 2: Brown and the chaos that ensues fifteen hundred yards still

2343
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:20,600
Speaker 2: with the oblique torn off the bone. That's just wow.

2344
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:23,520
Speaker 2: One of those I'm trying to think of medical marvels.

2345
01:59:23,720 --> 01:59:26,440
Speaker 2: But also, you know you're talking about, you know, getting

2346
01:59:26,480 --> 01:59:29,400
Speaker 2: caffeine strips or whatever. It always lends to the old

2347
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:32,000
Speaker 2: question of what the hell are these guys, you know,

2348
01:59:32,160 --> 01:59:34,640
Speaker 2: taking to get themselves through a little more vitamin T

2349
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:39,000
Speaker 2: perhaps along the process. Ryan will do it again. Enjoy Vegas,

2350
01:59:39,080 --> 01:59:42,400
Speaker 2: stay cool, drink more water, Carry and Jason coming up

2351
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:43,040
Speaker 2: next on Fox
